Read My Mind

Above the street

On the wall

Read my mind

says it all.

Laconic in speech

and verbose in silence.

Past in present

And future no tense.

People come and people go

They don’t see me

But them I know.

Walk in the crowd

Feel all alone

Sit in serene

Crowded and stoned

I am tired, tryina sleep

Drowned Deep, Deep!!
