Unmanageable Separation

my mind

and my body,

for some reason, have come to split‐

the former

always lost,

on tangent after tangent

and the latter

left figuring everything out on its own‐

forsaken in a vicious cycle

of trial and error,

never to remember

only to start everything anew all over again‐

the flow of life,

disconnected within it's own vessel,

me‐

all of existence,

disrupted within its own carrier,

me‐

puzzle pieces,

scattered about in different boxes,

will the big picture ever be put together?

or any picture for that matter?

if the members of my being cannot work together‐

do they even know they are separated?

will they ever?

find each other...

i sure hope so, because i simply cannot‐

manage the separation‐
