rush to nowhere
another morning rush
almost out of time as usual
it’s the same old problem I have every day
I wanna take it slow slow slow
but I gotta go go go
sure wish I had some time to sit with last night’s dreams
but I’ll have to let them all fade away
again
like friends I forgot I ever had.
this culture
this system
this machine in which I am living
in which we all live
is not a friend to dreams
or to people who have them
there isn’t enough time
and everyone is moving too fast
to remember their dreams
much less record them
much less consider them
much less play with them
much less
understand them.
a culture that throws away its dreams
and its dreamers
is lost.
must go
time to rush
rush to nowhere
and nothing
and then home again
to sleep.
how much of what I know
will I forget today.
