lost

by joel abel - Taurus


the telivison flipped 
thru 80 cable channels
the world exposed.
the naked truth
about shopping
for fruit dehydrators
at 3:00 a.m. in
the morning...

what kind of fucking
life is this
i asked no one.

she picked me up
because my car was
broken,
and i could tell,
that she wasnt happy
to do this...

"you know, your a
grown-up,
you have responsibilities..."

i couldnt help
thinking she was
a broken person...
and at the same time
i wondered if i
was the broken one...

i flipped over to
a rerun of 
gomer pyle...
shit, i hate t.v.
but this was one of
those nights,
when the void
seemed to call me...
a siren singing me
toward the rocks...

"come to bed, sweetie,
you have to work
tommorrow..."

how long has this 
been going on?
i wondered?

what happened to me?

where the hell am i?
