5 o'clock Shadow & the Welcome Wagon

Location

Crystalize the memory & synchronize your chemical scheme, as the city underground travels through the blood stream

..of the young, the rich the old and poor..and the faces of the familiar across the crooked corridoors.

Strangers admist a crowded perception leaves my wisdom drawn blank

Now I'm left shell shocked from an outsiders obsession, her shackles leave me high running on blind faith.

Others they say vanilla skys leave days on repeat, so conquer each day and shy away from defeat.

Why hyrogliphs foreshadow the coming of age....turn away and know youre future days arent staged.

Believe me when the shit hits the fan its like casting a stone

The butterfly effect shifts ripples for miles, so brace for impact and protect the child.

Travel out &see ghost from past days, know bridges never burn they only fade into the grey.

Wish it was harder to make new ties,

But to my surprise, these loose lips sink onto those of my favor.

When the sun goes down life gets alittle bolder, Hipsters, lazerquets, nightlife, & jokesters.

The scene of the super charged air leaves her tired and frail.

While she sleeps in her shadows arms, he takes her back to the hotel.

Taxis & thai food makes the night burn clean while staring in her eyes thinking of blue dreams.

Quest...a._.bot

I wrote this poem literally as I was riding the subway back home to vacaville from san francisco coming home from work as I was thinking about how much the city would have to offer from what it was I experience thus far just working, spending time with old and new friends. I also put some super random subtle refferences thing I ate and did thoughout my first week being in the city (haha)

I was a big big step for me looking at my life a year ago to what I was experiencing thus far and the poem just came to me spontaniously as I was dosing of on the train so it meant alot to capture these moments on paper and always have a story look back on and tell!
