Dogs 2020

cave
to desert
desert
to cave
another
day done
in isolation
Faris
remembers
why he
is here
still smells
the city
the crowds
still hears
their ridiculous
murmurings
but from
time
to time
he thinks
of comfort
companionship
thinking
what he knows
of himself
will allow him
to return
to civilization
that others
will see
their futility
in the mirror
of him
but those
thoughts
are fleeting
he has
changed
but cannot
change
anyone else
so instead
of travel
he writes
upon
the dank walls
hoping
to learn
from his
mistakes
