Walking through a very narrow
dry river bed
I wonder about myself and
what brings me here
And why I feel a need
to find importance
in all things away
from the human connection
But I'm sure this search
is somehow more vital
than any other I could ever
undertake
And I'm sure it's more
than pure escape
he says high on caffeine
and the heat too has its
effect
both trying to take me to where
we all want to be
and then I understand:
Back there I'm not the
seeker of life
waiting for gunshots
to wake me up
But here I have the guts
and strength
to be a young boy
all alone
dancing, dancing, dancing.
