Im living on a street among students and young professionals
it’s not half bad
I usually feel safe
even though I know the city’s not the safest place
i’ve never kept a journal but always written down
fragments of my thoughts on scraps of paper that can later be found
sometimes it takes years for these things to recirculate
you make it up, make it up, make it up
as you head for the crux
and evidently things don’t get any easier as you grow up
you trade responsibility for even more responsibility
and you can kick, and you can scream
or you can grow with it gracefully
i’m fighting my compulsions with minimal results
i live in my head with the creatures and the people and the animals
most of which I don’t think even have actual names
in a post apocalyptic battle of wits
i’d probably side with evil
because evil’s got the coffee and cigarettes
and as much as I try, I don’t think I can quit
