You sit on the table
With bare legs in view
Speaking of the travel
Segments you knew

Travelling in your 20s
Settling in your 30s
Waking to your 40s
Never returning

Scores of segments
Legs of the journey
Honesty bearing fruit
To the places unseen

The unknown islands
And hidden highlands
And the small path between you and me

We have departed
Never to return
To the forks we left
In the road

Unconsumed is the game
Teasing us away
From a tangible reality

We toss and murmur
Chew and gurgle
The digital delights

Our platter eyes
Our molar minds
Digest to leave things aside
