Sunlight on the outer
fringes of the clouds:
somewhere,
a table set for summer.
He's a real nowhere man
Sitting in his nowhere land
Making all these nowhere promises
To somebody

He's as blind as he can be
Just sees what he wants to see
Nowhere man
Can you see me at all?

You shouldn't wait for someone to lend you a hand
You awful
Awful
Nowhere man
My father...

**Inspired by "Nowhere Man" by the Beatles
"what will they think?"- the
thought i had the most in my
entire existence.
‘Normalcy’
has its
depression
built in

Mundane
and ill formed
life hiding
from sin

Each day
like the former
unseasoned
and bland

With time
in the freezer
hope frozen
— and canned
