“Kashmir” plays on the radio
as I try to gather
a complete thought
standing in the middle of
this doomed world
at the threshold of Hell…
~
I am to be released
within a couple of months
this time gone forever
no miracle can save us now…
what if this were my life
at stake and not just my job?
“call me the tumbling dice…”
how could I do anything
that I am not already doing?
“you got to roll me…”
~
It is in any case
miles behind…how many more ahead?
but for now
“I’m as free as a bird now…”
we’re almost gone
somebody hit the lights
but leave the jams on as always
