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» |
