Gray birds of waste flutter in the breeze
Dust of restlessness can make a man sneeze
Energy without a focus, time without a cause
Why isn’t this covered by scientific laws?
Actions are absent, motives are missing
Just which jewel am I kissing?
Reasons remembered do not motivate
Can emptiness be my fate?
Movement without motion, falling without fear
Meaning and reason drift as boredom becomes clear

Desires for nothing, wants for void
Time is not passing on this asteroid
Moving pictures are frozen, still pictures burn
Only if I’m empty, can I ever learn
Green leaves are growing, skies are turning blue
Still I am going — nothing is new

Futures are fading, dreams slip away
Gold I am not gaining, I only have clay
My feet are ragged, from running around
The Edge is so jagged, what if I fall down?
The smell is of defeat, But this is no war
If there is no contest, what am I losing for?

I cross the last rocky ridge
I spy a pizza in the fridge
One last tasty, filling gleaning
finally my life has meaning
