The traffic was virtually nonexistent My senses were surprisingly resistant To the ever flowing torrent of rain Walking helps keep me sane Out here time moves as slow as molasses As the rain drips off of my the rims of my glasses The water tastes salty on my tongue I can't wait to stop being so young My shoes hit the concrete My stride has a certain beat I roam the perpetual street My thoughts always repeat I've got to keep moving Must keep improving If I stop My head will pop My thoughts are an endless barrage Breaking through the mirage Till I get at the very essence And unravel the very fabric of my reality
