Adrift In Humanity
Lost identities of highway rescue deft
right hand glove on the left
how much can you remember?
Holding on to today, sleeping cold December
life's lighting, speeding will to train
steam engine build up combustion of some strain
order our directions to a heading
crossroads intersection destiny and spreading
uplifted of a mood in temporary bask
scenic room changes, switching their own mask
kept barely together, glued to a task
degrees into a needle tip, encompassing a life
busybody friction positive attitude rife
people peripheral vision side by side
composed images of they, quietly they tried
cultured, shock, class and resistant
changes always changing, always inconsistent
into their nightly beds, out into pieces
this complicated never-ending story, increases
short to long term, committed dream releases
