The Maze Poem by Nika McGuin

The Maze

Rating: 2.8


Lost and alone
I wander the aisles
searching for you

I look left
I look right
you are not in sight

Boxes and their shelves
become and ever spinning
maze around me
little people rush
about, to and fro
and where'd you go?

*********************

Found you!
how ridiculous
I feel, as you look
at me as if
nothing happened
as if the seconds
in which I was missing
were like the
blinking of an eye
instantaneous, and in no way
requiring thought

you haven't a clue
the hell I've been through
just looking for you

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Done on a whim, this was inspired by the event of searching for someone in a supermarket and then once you find them they look nonchalant. (it was written quite a while ago though)
COMMENTS OF THE POEM
Daniel Brick 27 June 2015

Oh, the strangeness of ordinary life which we are rarely aware of until an event like this confronts with a complexity we're not ready to deal with. Best forget the whole incident. In Chekhov's story Ward 6 a man goes crazy because he thinks too deeply into ordinary things.
