So

...

By BrenPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

so

there i was;

straight out of nothing to do

straight out of nowhere to go

straight into a big nothing to see

no one here but me

so

here i am;

no significant play to know

no articulate way to show

no particular place to go

AND - - I'M - - STILL - - HERE!

so

anyway;

nothing even mildly earth shattering here

nothing here but media fed fear

nothing to do but stand and leer

i....am....so....outa....here

so

that laugh;

that noise you make in your throat

that pause you take when you vote

that face you fake for a poke

i’m going over there - - - >
