Surrounded by thick mystery
Life unfolds before me and all I can understand
Are words as the book is flipped through
Figures of people swaying as they emerge out of the fog
But they never say anything
As if they only appear to remind me
That I’m not alone
Sunlight is a deeply satisfying privilege
So is this quartet of jazz musicians playing
Their greatest hit: on a doomed lifeboat
So is this cigarette that dances with it all
So is this library is that’s keeping me afloat
I wonder if this is also a dream
I might really be driving my convertible somewhere
On the gold coast of Australia
The water is freezing my legs off…
