Does anyone else hop from job to job like me? It's not that I'm poor, uneducated or lazy, I'm CRAZY!! Missing that flash of fire that comes once in awhile only, when I reach out the earth, to the people I share the world with, talking, planning, going out, flirting, "I GET IT! I FEEL LIKE I'M IN THE RIGHT PLACE, ON THE GROUND, SPINNING IN OUTER SPACE!" To then become invisible, even to me, arms don't feel real, only can think in huge constructing ways, big theories, and trying to figure out why the hell we're here anyway. Don't have time to change my clothes, I'm worrying instead about who's gonna feed Africa's children, and I feel guilty focusing on what I'm gonna wear. Not enough time to ponder the cosmos, cause it's time to cry. ... |
