Our lives and our time
Fired useless
Into the air
Toy cap gun shots
Those winter palaces unstormed
No tax offices ransacked

In a flashy car
Sat there in the sun for 8 hours
While you pissed & moaned

With a chlorinated pool
Where one day...

Somewhere in between
What shall always be... 
Known as my lost and forever hour

A clock sits staring, ticking and tocking

madams, bold streetwalkers, 
picking pennies from the gutters

to the quiet woods, to sit and think,
About life, love, fear...
For today it was the only near sense
Compelled towards this delicate space
As I watch those that pace by,
Spaced out...
Do they not...
