kilometers from nowhere on a scented avenue -
lined with poppy girls.
i didn't stop, stop to say hello.
curious vendors - waving bric-a-brac -
looked me over -
thought it best, best that i should go.
don't wake me... i'm falling.
slow spiral into morning.
who's out there? can't hear you.
ears covered - early warning.
alarm bells ringing.
time to make my peace with the dreary day.
i waited tables - i was tipped in roubles.
wine to water
was the best that i could do.
wild office parties split the silence.
loaves and fishes at an empty table laid for two.
down the spiral, spinning madly.
gathering momentum
on a disneyesque adventure ride.
i fly in colours from richer palettes.
famous artists running scared as worlds collide. |
