Sitting here

Sitting in a pub chewing Wi-Fi

Talking to a friend I'll never meet

Discussing local politics

Full of despair and deceit

Looking at a lady smiling at me

not the sort of smile I wanted

I crawl back into my head

it's safer in here I think

Have another drink my friend?

Might lessen the pain a little

Incessant football chanting

It's only a game my friend

The game isn't football really

It's life and all that's in it

A human factor, a tribe

why are we so afraid?

Doom and gloom for breakfast

warm and dry and cosy but still lonely

Another day blooms pink and blue

think I'll go for a walk, I smile

People shopping in a rush

kids screaming, I want that Mum

Too expensive, maybe later

Get in the car son, or we'll be late

I cross a road, is that symbolic?

out into fields, tall trees, flowers blooming

River runs relentless looking for the sea

birds call out, look at that guy down there...
