I am just a parasite  a rancid creature of



the night with eyes that never see the light



Of day. Papers blow over empty streets



People inside houses I'll never meet are



Feeling safe and safely wasting away.



They Are all inside asleep  living love that they



Can't keep  speaking words that they could



Never say. Dreams of learning how they might



Make amends and set things right are 



Conveniently forgotten the next day...



Safely wasting away.
