Alone

by Mad Hatter - Capricorn


Being alone
most of the time
I can walk
from river to river
any time of year
any day I choose.

So what that
there’s no one
to talk to
when I get home
no voice but mine
bouncing off
these hollow walls?

Crank up the stereo
to fill the silence
no one else can hear.

I can leave
I can stay
catch a ballgame
look out a window
all day and stare
at nothing or a
clear blue sky
at dusk
if I care.
