SOUND.

SOUND

The sound of the wind is scary

like a little old lady crying

in the cold

the sound it makes when

the world is dreaming

and I am

no longer awake

and I forgot to make things

happen again and again

like trying to join a band

or doing my taxes

maybe I think I'll do a better job

next year

and one day the population

will learn how to read

and I will be able to get a better

job and afford some new diapers

when I decided to have a baby

and not do anything

with my life at all

and most people are doing things with

their lives like going to college

and having a family

and following their dreams

but what is a dream when people are

starving and unconcerned about the

environment in which we live

and nobody cares about anything

except the blank clock

the sun moves and it bends

and time is in waves

like the waves of the ocean

and wounds stand still

and I cannot think or move.

I am a mannequin.

I live a life that is lost.
