life is a movie too long to watch
too sad to share
to dark to bare
to be further from you past, not
closer. this a new life
life without sleep. without dreams
this the real life
modern beyond dreams.
this the new life. without
dreams.
dream less.
state. less.
working only without reward or
reason. this is the real life.

my train is rushing away
from there, from here, from this
from everything
i’ve been nothing but a shadow
that brushed your hair
a short while as you stare
off
