The Internet

I should sit down
The sense of the world is heavy
Clicking a button
This is relaxing
The screen
The information
The tool
What am I looking for?
This can take me into another world
Somewhere different, somewhere exciting
Where do you want to go today?

Concrete

Beautiful grass
The song birds sing silent through trees
Sky clear, obstruction free
Only the trees
These colors painted by nature
That’s where blue, green, and red came from

And not just birds, other animals too…
Some fly others walk
Some walk on two legs others walk on four
I’m walking on concrete

Come home

Scared and not there
Where
Not sure; not in control
Empty room
One job; stay strong

The day is coming
Positive
Certain

Work balance

Day in and day out; everyday; Thursday
Bodies are moving with swift persistence
Simple just doesn’t matter
Work is work

Some jobs are dirty
Clean jobs are common, but always wear and tear
Everyone feels the pressure
Keep going

The smell of smoke
In a large night club
Smiles natural
Beautiful
The light in the room green

Standing
People in the street
Shut the shades
Sorrow
I drink my coffee

Collection
Under the oak tree
Falling everywhere
Fast to the ground
Lovers walk together

Across the water
Through the hills
Saws roar
Limbs dropping
Construction begins

Dirt road
Leeds to water
Fish jump for freedom
Excitement overwhelms
The summer sun overwhelms the fishermen.

spring is here
fresh buds send pollen
through the air

all day it rains
loud noises
cause fear
as the gutter overflows
will this ever stop?

fallen leaves of
a dogwood tree collect
as my guitar comes into play

sadly enough
I walked away
to a new land

I watch
outside my window
as the spring blossoms

smokey night club
in a large green lit room
her smile's natural
beautiful
as she passes by
