Do Not Be the First To Throw a Rock

I stared at the wall Bricks on bricks A bench in an empty corner Built to last That cathedral I had arrived by train Under overcast weather No rush to get on the tram Going to the hospital - knew to much Brick on brick - there too Eating a sandwich Sad that too People moving around me Empty eyes in the shadow Sitting alone by the wall You can’t go back Awake the dead Reset fractures Make something become Become undone You can turn around, look back Remember smiles, anger, tears and laughter You better look ahead There and then - facing the wall Ready to cry Heard a chopper flying low Blue lights waiting You can’t go back Always When you face the wall
