The Map |
| You’ll be uncomfortable 40 percent of the time |
| When you open the gates of adulthood |
| A fair warning, dare I question its accuracy? |
| But still, there was much I wasn’t told |
| And much that wasn’t explained |
| I decided to venture out seeking answers |
| I went to a professional |
| «Can you pinpoint the origin of my anxiety?» |
| The doctor pulled out a map |
| I studied it, and there I saw: |
| Envy, bitterness, love, nostalgia, confusion, guilt, and desire |
| All illuminated like neon on the perimeters of a bustling thoroughfare |
| Soliciting my neurons for their patronage |
| Buzzing and pregnant with emotional potential |
| Ships docking harbors like thoughts approaching the threshold of perception |
| Towns of rapid traffic synapse intersections |
| Forests of dense cranial arbors |
| I continued studying the map |
| «It's here» |
| The doctor pointed to an empty patch |
| There was one road leading out to an empty patch |
| It didn’t dead end but just sort of disappeared in isolation |
| «Right here?» |
| I surveyed the space with my finger |
| The doctor nodded gravely |
| «I'll leave you with the map for a moment,» he said |
| Then gathered his instruments and neatly exited the room |
| I traced the path of the disappearing road until it was no longer a road |
| Tapping with my finger on what I decided was the threshold of the road’s |
| existence |
| I stated, «It is here where I will retire» |
