Way Back

7/25/17


As of now and since way back
Going down a different or the same path
Not trying or really attempting to make cash

Endless noise or the sound of crickets
From the beginning to the finish
It all did or didn't
Add up, whether it happened to be close by or distant

All around or devoid
Remaining intact or destroyed
Two sides to every coin
Unwilling or wanting to join
Out of work or employed

On the outside and in the core
In the future, present or before
On either side of the door

Moving up and down in gears
At the lowest and highest tier
Here, then gone as soon as it appeared
People's emotions and the weather, calm or severe
Whether it was hard to see or clear
