Sonnet For the End

Sonnet for the End David Lustrup 2021 the wheels keep spinning black and white taxi backseat the lights go by my life goes by waves of city lights fly , the smell of the street woe and regret smoke in the air, full moon outside long shadows on wet streets this city sings a slow song of death the night air forlorn with sorrow its almost over the curtains about to drop and there was no show. a river of tears flowing in my sewer of dreams failure to launch, failure to fly entire life about getting by crumb by crumb i inch from birth to death was this my great purpose? i get lost in fantasies they keep me distracted in thier dark embrace a tree swaying in the dark night air the sound of the wind rushing through its leaves sings a song of dispair where is the sunlight where is the dawn? it's too late i see tears from my mothers eyes i failed =( this movie will never be anything but black and white
