TUNNEL VISION

I am life
traveling through a tunnel
yet it is the tunnel that
moves
I don’t come into the light
the light arrives
the yellow stripes
shoot beneath a dreaming me
trees throw themselves past
an anxiety or two
lovers and dreams
reflect according to my disbelief
Sartre was wrong
there is an exit
I am life
traveling through a tunnel
I am life
