numb fingers, last cigarette;
darkness in her room.
I WENT TO THE WOODS BECAUSE I WANTED TO LIVE DELIBERATELY. I WANTED TO LIVE DEEP AND SUCK OUT ALL THE MARROW OF LIFE. TO PUT TO ROUT ALL THAT WAS NOT LIFE, AND NOT, WHEN I HAD COME TO DIE, DISCOVER THAT I HAD NOT LIVED.
Neon lights
and fast cars.
Neon
lights
and
fast
cars.
Neon,
neon,
neon
everywhere.
Where are the stars?
Clouds?
Neon?
Lights?
And fast
cars?
Walking through
the madness of civilisation
I look for exits
every minute,
for a place to
jump,
for a place to
breathe,
for a place to
sit,
to seek,
not riches,
sparkling diamonds,
papers that certify
my intelligence,
or lack thereof,
just a small nook
where I can talk
and listen,
where I can
breathe
and wish
for no more
neon
lights
and
fast
cars.
