Standing Still Stoned

 

Standing still

In the rain.

I’m waiting for

Someone.

Someone to come

Save me.

I’ve smoked too much.

Stoned view of world.

Distorted extended

Feel apprehended.

Someone shuffles by

Looks at me

Then looks at his feet!

“Oh no I’ve done too much”

Or maybe not enough.

Thats me in the shadow.

From the neon light.

“Kebabs pizzas”.

My legs feel slow.

I try a shuffle.

I want to laugh

Then I want to cry.

I’ve done too much.

Now there’s a fear

Now there’s paranoia.

So I stand still in the rain

In the flashing

Blue, green, yellow

Spotlight.

I’ll have a kebab.

Starving.

Counting pennies

Not enough for

The kebab

And the bus.

I get the kebab 

And walk stumbling

Home.
