MY FIRST MARRIAGE
I was driving—
No I was awakening
To the fact that I’d been driving
Unconsciously
I don’t know how—
This has happened before
Not meditation
Not zoning out
Because I am safe—
I go through the motions
Like I did with you
For many years
No I was awakening
To the fact that I’d been driving
Unconsciously
I don’t know how—
This has happened before
Not meditation
Not zoning out
Because I am safe—
I go through the motions
Like I did with you
For many years

Thank you. This was a poem that just hit me in a flash. From inspiration to submitting was probably less than 5 minutes. I'm glad because so many times I've had this moment, and I never made the connection before.

I feel like there's an unwritten final stanza after the written one:
"We were driving—
No we were awakening
To the fact that we’d been driving"
"We were driving—
No we were awakening
To the fact that we’d been driving"

No accident (unless you consider the bulk of 15 years being somewhat empty an accident)
She didn't run away. We basically walked away from each other.
All my poems are imagery. I think.

People (many from too much libation consumed)
often can and do function during their Blackouts and have zero recollection when they come out of it.
Interesting ink -- liked

I'm gonna share an old ink i wrote shortly after i got divorced (You reminded me of the memory)
Mine is not as kind or well written as what you have here but it is full of negative emotions.

Ah, I just read it and could feel the connection. Awesome. Yours was written from just as deep a well as mine, Tallen.

Oh I was referencing the wrong one. SYMBIOTIC, NO is a painful, stirring write. I like Lookawaynow's comment. Thank you for the note.
