destination unknown

…………..traveling
backwards


while life marches forward
confused with direction

 

turning
left seems right

 

right seems wrong

 

music playing
…………old old songs

 

the table turns
and the turntable
sings
…………. paul is dead

 

no one believed
a morbid thought
yet captured some’s attention

 

voices combine
to a noise
sound without meaning

 

queries are posed
how to make sense
out of senselessness
how to believe
in the unbelievable
dreams & nightmares
are one in the same
fantasies unclaimed

 

damn
it’s later than thought

 

keep trying to move forward
but the world moves
sideways
my destination unknown

 

turn to the right
see meadows of delight

 

for strawberry fields
are always in bloom

 

my head spins
like an old 45
wishing to play at 33

 

if you’re not from era
you’ll never understand
we make love
not war

 

might be bummed
but don’t freak out
for we all were some type of
children of flowers

 

damn
what hour is it

 

keep trying to move forward
but the world moves
sideways
my destination unknown

 

hearing a blare
doesn’t hurt the ears
police are somewhere near

 

and
if counting every breath you take
does it get me
any closer to you

 

but if i catch you looking
in someone else’s direction
is that a reflection
that your affection is fleeting

 

my mind
might not mind
the heart might hurt

 

so much
so much
so much
……………traveling

 

damn
am i late

 

keep trying to move forward
but the world moves
sideways
my destination unknown
