I see myself …. walking
on the rooftops
of this vast city
called the world
where all
the ills of the people
are beneath
the bottoms of my feet
about to pull me
down into tragedy
the debauchery
in the streets
I see myself …. gazing
at the skyline
of tall buildings
saturated with this
gloomy gray
in silence I pray ~
~ my mind
and its elevated
state of high
will be not as affected
by the bleakness
that’s quickly settling
around the body
to immobilize my spirit
I see myself ….. jumping
within this frenzy
of notion
to find freedom
at last ~
I stop and take hold
right at the roof’s edge
and like many
times before
I suddenly decide
I’ll hang on …..
….. at least for now
don’t
fuckin’
judge
me
or my words
as if you know
’cause
right at the roof’s edge
is my ~
~ yes my
recurrent
realm
known to me
as normality
peace out….
