prison, her

this place is a relationship
now, marriage of common law.
thought of divorce evokes images
of confounded family, reflecting in doubt,
a few hard times, but
ultimately, a better place.
how did i find myself here
in this other world away
from the world everyone else knows?
the inside jargon, costumes, rules... and
the menacing white ball that no one else can see.
it is disorienting and alluring, suffocating and compelling.
i thought that ascending to the position of Number One
would grant the opportunity to easily leave.
i wonder: am i a free man?
