I see nothing ahead of me

but right here where I stand

right now as I'm standing

though every part of my being

every act every memory

crowds in with me


nothing going forward

(as they say)

that can hold the weight

of my experience

oh I wonder why nothing works anymore

I must accept my luck has finally run out


because right here where I stand

I see nothing ahead of me...
