there is a different state of mind 
and
i do not know how to shake it off

nothing matters but the moment,
hands in action,
mind a method
tighter and tighter until it all goes

This is a life before eternity
writhing in jealousy,
scorn,
and cranberry vodka stains

It was an old car 
with a life run short
short

hello world,
is this thing on?

i'll let you in on a secret.
i have a voice, did you know that, someone?
and even though it may never be heard i would like to speak
as if speaking mattered
as if life mattered

i still work at the museum, did you know that, someone?
it's been years.
my friends are gone now
no one there cares about the artifacts, the icons,
stories
as if the lives of those who fought do not matter
as if the lives of those who lived do not matter

i sat on a box and flipped through the books
that took a lifetime to fill
that took a lifetime and still couldn't say
all the things they wanted to say.
do all the things they wanted to do.

no one will know their stories unless i tell them
and someone listens
and someone cares
someone

...

tomorrow, i will go to work,
and do my best,
and come home again.

and then i will go to work,
do my best,
and come home again.

sometimes i think it makes a difference.
but just breathing isn't life
just breathing is torture
but i lay and breathe, breathe,
too

just breathing is not enough. just living is not enough
just when will my time start moving
again
