The B R O K E N Man

Location

stereos blaring

cars honking

footsteps

many many footsteps walking

 

 

People Pass the Pieces to Progress

sometimes intentionally

sometimes unknowingly

but you do, i do, everyone does

 

 

Some Side Step them

Everyone Else Evade them

manuever

maneuver e v e r y twist.........

and turn

 

 

IGNORANT

OBLIVIOUS

NAIVE

most call it "swag"

 

 

when will the yellow light bulb go off?

will it be too late?

for those that sleepwalk

to finally awake?

 

 

the head on the sidewalk

the legs in the sewers

the torso on the wire

it all fits together

 

 

the man can't move forward

however there's only one other direction

the man can't move forward

and neither can those that pass him
