The Thought Process
Listen to poem:
The Thought Process
David J Walker
I never thought it would be like this
I never thought it would be
I never thought
Much
About much at all
I never thought Life
would ever stop
I never thought about it
Coming to an end
And getting off
This uncomfortable passenger bus
That brought us
And dropped us off
At a greasy spoon diner that double
As a post office with no boxes
And a one-street town with
One eternal yellow traffic light
perpetually blinking
caution
caution
caution
When we were looking for
Passion
passion
passion
In Efficacious Fashion
That sublimates the scenery
As it passes
From town to
dissolute town
I never thought it would be like this
I never thought it would be
I never thought about us
Coming and going
One by one
As the day is done for
Another son
of the 20th century
Who ran the gauntlet beside us
