outside...

1

Outside people walk, together and apart

Their footsteps soft, inaudible, on carpeted floors red

Trees, trees by their sides, smiling

I wish to stop them passing by, for small talk

And to keep me alive, awake and undead



2

Inside the glass room, soft pawed cats walk on table tops

Breathing slow, in a steady rhythm

Echoing purple, lightning shines, inside glass bottles



3

Old man moves around, wearing just socks

His boots have walked all the way, all alone

Away from him, till the end of the world

They know more trees and more smiles met on the way

Old man moves around, only inside his mind

His own space, his own sky, moon, clouds and stars



4

Lost, they are, looking for blue, glue, so be you

Words written on walls in a child’s scribble

Super secrets sowed super deep, a careless scrawl

Wish you knew when it was written
