Hunger Rapport

Hunger Rapport



I can't help but feel a hunger rapport, an absence
ask for something not there, as usual I jump in
with grabbing hands into thin air
it's difficult to breathe, I can hardly sing

I can't help but feel, riding on a wheel, without spokes
unstepped ladders, falling with splinters
you a hunger rapport, wanting more n' more
me searching for the core and finding an empty cubicle

it's enough to ask for a wall that is not moving
to draw the curtain back to a view of my choosing
a door that opens fast, a floor beneath my feet
to know where I'm at and something to eat

How sad to hear someone who all the want is some rapport and something to eat. One cannot lead a double life; we can only be shoved around by it.
