I wandered,
Unbeknownst,
Into your mathematical goo.

I’m not fighting,
Nor creating a commotion to cause
A fuss.

No flailing
Of limb from limb.
Ash to ash.

No need to break free.
I can handle it.
I’ve been here before many times.

I’m content.
I wish to get free,
Because it’s the right thing to do.

But I’ve given up on you.
And me.

Author's Note: I'm suffering from a kidney stone and am stoned on the Percocet they gave me. It hasn't killed the pain but it has numbed my brain sufficiently that I can't be held responsible for this one.
