When Words Fail Me

When everybody is right is anybody wrong sometimes my mind rambles losing its way every so often it finds its way back I don't know where it's going or coming from we can predict the date of our birth death is more elusive my mind rambles like a bowl of letters swimming aimlessly looking for the right words my mind treads water and right words evade me the right time has eluded my grasp only to be of no use when I am alone yet my mind escapes in no particular direction I was looking out my window I think it was a window inside a dream an elusive dream the other side of a window I had nowhere to go so there I went I saw a man unkept with the scent of the streets scratching a lottery ticket his face changes from hope to hopeless back to the streets could have been me or you When words fail me because my mind rambles in no direction and the letters scramble to find each other my past is in my rear view mirror the days are getting shorter so is life Frank (Black) Blacharczyk
