Sometimes, I think I feel too much, like I crossed into a world of shadows; like there's been some kind of mistake. Life seems to sharp, to vivid, too right there in my face. I feel like a stranger. It's as if I were on a bus, and out of the tinted windows, things looked vaguely familiar. I pull the string and get off. It's the wrong stop, it's the wrong world. The bus has disappeared; there's no way home. I used to stand on a bridge that a river flowed under. And off in the distance, high atop the ash trees, the eagles were nesting. They were so beautiful and serene. I can't watch them anymore. It breaks my **** heart to see all the concrete and construction inch closer and closer to the little slice of heaven they found in a piece of nature that seemed vaguely familiar.
