The Stranger
Lying in a field so green
counting holes in the carpet fog.
Waiting for the Sun to eat away the clouds
like moth mouths eating cloths
in a stale closet.
Summer is here and school is out
looking for work to tie me down.
Bound in a straight jacket everyday
crawling and searching for a better way.
I'm not stupid, I want to be free
to love and die eventually.
Knowledge and wealth I want to obtain.
A outsider looks in
through a window pane.
