My eyes disconnect from my fingers Mind from my body on the screen And lingers With the walking stick limp That taps along the concrete His scraggly white beard blowing in the wind I saw the old man earlier in the street I held my hand up to the light To see if it was fake
Watched the old woman pass With her brown paper bag Rip and tear Assortments spraying like paint Vulture children swooping down in a rush to eat Minds so full of hate Confusion in every eye that sees I wonder why I bother Oh my mind is slipping away My guard is down Glued to my chair Pulling out my hair And there is So much to choose from So much To be done Here This is not an exit And you have not won
