Circles 2009
Bare foot and tattooed
I saw you sat
On an empty porch step
Blaring out Clair de Lune
As usual
Controversial and repetitive
These are the lives we live
In order to be different
Couldn't we just,
Remain the same?
In order to evoke a change
So where were you going?
I saw you hurrying
When you knew the march was on
Head down and smirking
Walking against the crowds
Trying too hard to look;
Humbled and forlorn
Chasing 'round and around
Like a pair of fools
If I’d known you’d follow me,
I’d never have followed you!
