random thoughts at Caffe Pergolesi...

One sided conversations stem from every corner
Eyes stare at carpet patterns on the floor
Avoiding contact with their own
Bodies filling space, but their souls are alone
Flashes freezing moments that weren't lived
We'll speak of them in the not-so-distant future
As if they happened long ago
And attach to them special meaning
When all we were thinking was, "What are we doing later?"

I’m the one to pay
You forgot your purse
And i’m not in the mood
To argue
About the tip
Let’s agree to disagree and
Call it a night
‘Cause i don’t wanna fight
It’s more trouble than
You’re worth
So i drop you at your place
And when i get home
I find a picture
Of when we both
Looked our worst

I'm not a quitter, and sometimes I think that may be my problem.  One of them anyway.

GiRL iN THE BASEMENT

I followed at a distance
I didn’t know what I’d find
I wanted some peace of mind
As to your identity & the
Meaning of your kiss


It felt so sweet
Yet carried dark implications
Of places you’ve been before
Places I never want to go
But find myself walking towards


You scream freedom
But the other will kill
To remain enslaved
And I sit watching, as you
Slowly decay


Glowing like an angel
But dim like a devil
Over you as the moon does
In the private hell
You sell yourself


Sleep it off girl
Dream of sunnier days
And when you awake
I will be there
To walk you back into
This sad & beautiful world

TRACKing

Roaring, rumbling
Seemingly endless
You announce your presence
Without ever a thought
To stop
And get acquainted

You pass and pass
Carrying in your scent,
All places, distant and past
i want to be there
With you
Hitching out west

Abandon all ties
All troubles
My head in the air
And my mind
Blowing in the wind
