A Space For The Wasted


You carry all that shopping 
Like a tapestry unravelling
And you have those 
Christmas cards to write
When you have nine months
I know how this ends:
Life goes into lightspeed
Then goes into reverse.
Then soon enough we're gone.
A million people
Sleepwalk into town
Pick a fight with a paper bag
And feel profound.
Night slides into daydreams
Somehow the world is 
All you always feared 
You carry all that baggage
I'm all out of dreams.
Does your memory hold
A space for the wasted?
