-on empty life and aimless power: a guy's
big party that happened without him
Laughed out loud this morning
happy, lightly, free,
softly stumbling down the stairs
- but really, god it isn't me.
Broken glass in the living
scrunching under my feet,
torn portraits, burnt letters,
melted bottles, boiling books
- hahaha, no, it wasn't me.
Went out, caught fire, blew up
- don't know for which cause.
Touched down on the balcony
- from the victims no applause.
Hot red footprints ten inch deep
- not mine, I was sound asleep.
Hmmm, fresh air,
can smell it through the window glass.
Who is this guy outside,
stretching out his arm to me?
Just wondering...
will they ever remove these bars,
so we can shake hands?
