We yawn, we are tired and our minds are not as quick as they once were. Like an old computer trying to carry the load it was never designed for.

You play the part and you fool em all. You stand straight with a smile trying your best to perform the role of your lifetime.

With so much garbage streaming around us it’s a wonder we can even find our way home.
We walk, take the bus, train, or drive. We move along in a trance and somehow take the right turns and find our way…

We yawn, a lot more than we ever did. Conspiracies expressed and explained, sold like a broken down used car.
Stream and you see there is more shit there than there ever was in the Hudson River.

Walking the streets of New York City, you smell weed in the playgrounds and urine everywhere else.

Walking through the same steps as yesterday and the years before. You feel, you guess that’s a good thing. The stores lined up, the buildings standing proudly. The elevated platform where the trains come and go.

Most mornings the sun is rising in the east, most winter evenings the sun is long gone.

It’s takes a ton of strength and brevity to set out day in day out, the young cannot understand this acting school we have attended.

Don’t be sad , it can always be worse, people are suffering, dying all around. Smile be happy.
Don’t complain, no one wants to hear your truth.
“You look sad.”
Smiling you say, “I’m not just a bit tired.”
We don’t want pity or charity, so we smile and we try to simply survive.

You get up early to shower, feeling like each drop of water is a caress, hot, wet and all embracing.

You have risen above lies and betrayals, you walked away from the yellow brick road, you found yourself crying in silence so as not to be revealed, alone in a world spinning out of time.

You can never reveal yourself, it’s the one thing you posses you can call your own. You lost your name, you lost your looks and lost your mind somewhere along the way.

You play the part and you fool em all. You stand straight with a smile trying your best to perform the role of your lifetime.
