I see you out there walking And talking to yourself What do you do and who do you talk to When there's clearly no one around
Do you have a load of friends Imaginary along the way for company sake To keep the conversation flowing Something crazy you'd like to say
In the dead of winter Wearing shoes with no socks In the coldest of weather Like that Talking Heads song
I even see you on the corner In your pacing back and forth Giving someone a piece of what you have left For all that you are worth
I sit in my car and contemplate Where you and I, we both are at I can count true friends on my one hand As you count the many inside your head
And who is the happiest of the two Me or you with the stress of life If you stop to think about Who is really out of their mind...
I've been watching this guy for months walking the streets just a rambling and finally got up the nerve to pull over and offer him some money so he could get something to eat or whatever. (never once did I see him out begging, I just figured it was a good ice breaker) I was amazed at how clear, coherent and thankful he was. It just got me to thinking about each of our journeys and where it has and where it is taking us. But also how we on that journey can stop for just that one moment and interact with each other. He changed my way of thinking that day and perhaps I his. And after all...aren't we all a little bit crazy?
