lunch: salad
dinner: salad
later: not salad (chicken and cottage cheese)
have i forgotten so quickly indeed
the blues and greys and wants and needs
tried so hard to finish the race
running the hallways, subliminal daze
hammered it down one week at a time
what's lost to the loss of the loser's grind
a mishmash of happenstance, memories aground
i miss that freedom so dearly, that sound
of silence, as i sit here, mid-recompense
with these phrases and chords that'll never make sense
fearing what i can't understand
how to live a child a die a man
