Commute

I want to write-
Like a river flowing
Like the sunlight glowing-
But I can't find my voice.
Did I lose myself
On the commute to school
In the pocket of my shorts?

My future seems so bleak-
Like a foggy drive home
Without my car's headlights-
And I'm losing hope
Faster than I got lost
In my God damn pockets
During my commute.

Keep a pocket watch close to your heart,
Be good, my children, and play your part.

Fuck it all.
