Autumn Leaves volume 6 number 7 |
The sun's been up as
i open my eyes
In the middle of
this life.
And squint at these walls again, again,
Again.
i am dreaming. (dreamt) (dream)
Used to. Now,
i
hope...
As i drift to the top again, again,
Again.
These floors are old. These people are old.
This house is
old. This beer is old.
This way... gets old.
And i sit in the kitchen
again, again,
Again.
A dad would say, "You should..." A mom would say...
"I
love you?"
The old man says, "I remember..." The old woman
says...
Nothing. Again, again,
Again.
i am... that's all, i just am.
And the ticking clock
tells me
Where i am. (been) (going)
And i sob again, again,
Again.
They don't hear (won't). They don't see
(Can't)
As
inside, i cry. (die) (WHY?)
And i smile, and i laugh again,
again,
Again.
