Finding What Is Lost

I pause at railroad crossings,
But then I glide along in an SUV or limo;

That feeling of humanity can't touch me in my leather.

 

Yet more and more I'm frightened,
Of losing rays of sunshine in blackened fashion glasses,

Of losing grip of handholds on

The slippery slopes

  Of lotion and animal skins.

 

I watch in awe as golden suns

Are sucked right up in deep black holes

Of new and tarnished jewelry.

 

I'm getting so weighed down,

As this obnoxious mound of treasure piles up;

I cannot find the peephole that I need to save my dignity.

 

And, really;

I just must find my mind again,

And thus regain humanity.

haha blockades

and yet, this is so true, to the letter.

    I have to think in this sentence:

    "Of losing all my handholes on"

    you really mean "handholds". No biggy. You once commented on a poem of mine... years ago now, actually, and I just wanted to see how your poetry was progressing. I like this one very much except for the word I mentioned. If that word really is what I think it is, then your verse is flawless!

    Best to you for continued inspiration!
