*distant*
being bored is something I've never minded much-
it gives me time to think
and to write.
to gather up the demons of the day
and pocket them away...
too hot in there
too many people
most of them I don't know
and the ones I know don't know me..
I'm alone, but this isn't bad-
so while the guitar jangles
and the circle sings distant
I stand in the street and scribble on paper-
like a reporter covering a weird, happy crash scene
where nobody died
and everything's cool...
