wu wei
and i walk alone
at 8 in the morning
with leather sandals on
it's the beginning of a day
it's the end of my life
and the start of another one
you know my favorite time of day
is when you can't quite tell
whether the sun is going up or down
and now
can i ask you what all those towers are for?
if i did, what would you say?
do you really want to go to war
or do you just want to run away?
i know you didn't fire your gun. it's okay.
wu wei.
there are too many garbage bags fluttering around
acting like birds. do you relate?
do you know what that would implicate?
wu wei. i can't change the way you feel.
i can't even tell if this road i'm on is solid
or just a lump of clay.
