Ambivalence Strikes Ambition



(I am becoming a wave of )ambitious ambivalence.
Everything matters

then nothing at all.

Fighting the noise inside

has become harder

with the passing years.

Channels have sprung

up to filter it through,

in turn it has become louder,

more insistent.

Ambition

weighs my feet

like concrete slippers

sinking me beneath

the coming waves. 

If I could reach down

and undo them,

then perhaps

one more gulping swallow

of air could expand

these tired lungs.
