Waiting...Talk about nothing...Say everything that's wrong when nothing is wrong.
Always waiting for nothing.
Nothing never comes.

How interesting it is to be bored.
Opposite is the rule.
Black is white.
Left is right.
Right now I'm all that's left, so it must mean that's all right.
It's OK to be left behind.

Behind doors that slam shut and lock up tight.
Tight...not too tight.
You don't have to die today.
Today I think I'll die tomorrow.
Tomorrow I'll think I died yesterday.
It's good to play pretend.
Just like dressing up in Mommy's high heels.
So many roles to play.
Where did I get lost at?

Hide and Seek.
Come out come out wherever you are.
Come and play with me so I can get out of the house.
I can trap myself in here.
Trick myself into anything.
I know the truth somewhere inside.
Truth that there is nowhere to go but down.

Toying with the deep, dark, and rich content of human behavior, attitude and temperament... Its like falling off the edge of space and time, its a continuum that just returns like a yo-yo...

Nice piece...

Very nice. I like the back and forth. Playing with some of life's innate philosophical questions.
