The dusky atmosphere lulls you into submission
Swaying back and forth mindlessly
As if you were in the desert heat
In a barren tiresome place where you can’t hear a peep
***
But your not there
Your here
On your desk
In your room
In a city
Bustly and gritty
***
And yet you sway back and forth
back and forth
emotionless
Directionless
Hopeless
In this big old city
Such a shame
Such a pity
