Street By Street

waves of people

reach for oblivion

then pull back…..

often in fear….

false light everywhere

ships, street-lights,

sense of bonds

of the mind

being ever tighter…

no purpose

get fixed

get boozed

get laid

all around the

pull of life

up for grabs…

life is a falsehood…

no…no…

mind numbing existence

is not for me…

close like breathing

how it could be…
