Meanwhile Outside

Narrow and not deep enough

And colored in poorly I answer

To no one asking

I breathe in deep

And hold it in

But on the back of my neck…

A carrot chase plods on

Down a red carpet to the sun

Riding on that candy carrying horse

Until your god strikes you down

An endless supply

Of lottery tickets you can buy

Because hope springs and all that

I breathe in deep

And hold it in

Find nowhere at rest

With a persistent itch

Lay down

Get some sleep

Write out your dreams

In disappearing ink

When you

Are reduced

To the dash between

Dates and all you’ve left was

A mеmory

Death comes

In all shapes

You gеt dissolved

In space

And finally you can relate
