a certain fleeting unity
Internal dialogue runs incessantly
While you roll a joint
And cringe at passers by
We find mutual meanings
In ramblings of Sartre
Or someone or no one
And write on our shoes
To prove indifference to the material and aesthetic
While I catch reflections in car windows
We condemn it all
Like ignorant prophets
And drink to the future
While living in the past
Take pictures trying to preserve this fleeting unity
You observe my scribbled summary of this transitory train ride
With amusement and sadness
At what you assume to be boredom and distraction
When you couldn't be more wrong
While you roll a joint
And cringe at passers by
We find mutual meanings
In ramblings of Sartre
Or someone or no one
And write on our shoes
To prove indifference to the material and aesthetic
While I catch reflections in car windows
We condemn it all
Like ignorant prophets
And drink to the future
While living in the past
Take pictures trying to preserve this fleeting unity
You observe my scribbled summary of this transitory train ride
With amusement and sadness
At what you assume to be boredom and distraction
When you couldn't be more wrong

great observational peice 1 could almost envision the location n smell the air! sitting in ur spot n touching your soul. i imagine that when you wrote it you felt that presence as it came to be.
