all alone in this cold world
where the air is free
but what good is breathing
when you work for a roof
and the next tank of diesel
never a penny
to buy a pot to piss in
going here there everywhere
always ending in the same old hole
this one bed apartment
same old food TV
same old early rising
that which interests other men
is meaningless to me
art music mathematics
I do not care
a drive in the countryside
a walk on the beach
the latest political scandal
I don’t even care for a pint
alone all alone
if someone came along
would the four walls change
the scenery awaken
splish splash in the waves
we all know the answers
sorry ladies
I’d only drag you down
