Blank faces walk past me A visual elegy In the morning past the city streets Yet everyone persists so dimly The overcast retracts the colour from my sight As if it is midnight And traces, shapes of phases My shoelaces untangle themselves and I fall Flat The phasing interrupts my morning stroll Predators on the prowl Clad in amber Stalking through the morning night mass Hearts locked, empty locket Deafening the peace in its trail Chasing my tail and once I'm had It detains me, immobilises me, I am Caught The city of black and white Has no time for shades of grey And yet the vivid colours bond But yet I tripped And in the black and white streets I was trapped in technicolor

"Don't forget to smile!"
Blank faces walk past me A visual elegy In the morning past the city streets Yet everyone persists so dimly The overcast retracts the colour from my sight As if it is midnight And traces, shapes of phases My shoelaces untangle themselves and I fall Flat The phasing interrupts my morning stroll Predators on the prowl Clad in amber Stalking through the morning night mass Hearts locked, empty locket Deafening the peace in its trail Chasing my tail and once I'm had It detains me, immobilises me, I am Caught The city of black and white Has no time for shades of grey And yet the vivid colours bond But yet I tripped And in the black and white streets I was trapped in technicolor
:) Forced smiles in a dull life is a burden some people carry
