                                Any order is a balancing act of extreme precariousness.

Where Did Everyone Go

But nothing lasts forever

And the deepest well runs dry

Just cause i stopped rolling sevens

Doesn't mean i have to cry

          You're alone. But you don't mind that. You're a loner. That's the way it should be. You've always been alone. By now it's your trademark. You like it that way.

They Haven't Moved

        You make coffee and smoke a few cigarettes ; and the hands of the clock have gone crazy on you. They haven't moved hardly, they've hardly budged out of the place you last saw them, but they've measured off a half ? two-thirds ? of your life.
