Tap tap go the slim, brown shoes
And a snazzy hat bobbing on his head
Tap tap, some like to lick a girl’s toes,
And some collect stamps of people long dead

‘T is what it is, but I reckon that
There are too many poems about love
And too few about fish

Happiness has been degraded to effort,
and depression to undecision.
In a world coming together,
We're left with ourselves as everyone else
And God, I hope the Chinese are learning.

Strangers in buses downtown,
                                      strangers in trains found how,
somewhere.                                     ­         A  smile, a look and
in faces mine,
                        impersonal hooks pulled personal corners                                                      ­                                                                 ­              of my mouth in random directions,          
that were not so mine.
                                                        ­             
                                                               ­But
Neither were you.

Feelings are vibrations
Purring and winding,
Snapping with a scream
And if you listen closely
You can hear that
Indecision is silent, soft
And only different from loneliness
By its fatality.

The kid sat next to me
And I watched the words
Crumble from his mouth
Sticking on his shirt and trousers
with the wind blowing south.

— The End —
