Day: July 5, 2011

i’ve never played that game until now
if it’s working i’m not sure
you probably don’t even know
but i know
and it’s turning me into something i don’t like at all
you
and i can’t, no won’t, live with that
so there you go
you win
again
it’s everything you want
at least this week
i hope it’’s worth it
for everyone involved

Sitting alone in a small suburban dinerI remember some time ago,
it wasn’t that long really,
when I dreamt of New York City cafes
and becoming the next Jack Kerouac.
I was younger then

but I would have never admitted that to you
because even though I was only eighteen
and had just graduated high school
and my life revolved around dances
and text books,
I knew the world.
You have it all figured out then-

all doors are thrown wide open
and there’ll be no stopping you.
But time is a funny thing

as a life that wasn’t in your plan
creeps through a door left slightly ajar
from which comes a cool breeze
that you’re surprised you hadn’t noticed before.
