Where does the ocean go?? Does anyone know?? (Part un)
“all day the city’s selling something
always, the busy people spinning round
busier
dizzier
‘til they go back home to somewhere
and taxies stop to say ‘hello’
‘want a ride, I’ll take you there’
‘to anywhere, just tell my driver’
the sun is casting shadows
an afternoon is fading
I ask, but no one knows
The answer to the question
My life is like an island
Where does this ocean go?
Shyly, a wino sips his wine
Slowly, cause to him that is all that matters
He sees a cat he knows so well
Now sleeping on a bench together
A woman waiting by herself, selling flowers
‘please buy some, so I can help my daughter, will you?’
the man with spider eyebrows
Is standing on a corner
‘who wants to see a show?’
his head looks like a melon
he turns into an alley
then stops to blow his nose
sky is filled with neon
the buildings stand electric
and almost seem to glow
want answers to the question
my life is like an island
where does the ocean go?
I really want to know
My life is like an island
It’s time for me now to fly
Where does the ocean go?”
From “where does this ocean go?” ghost in the shell: stand alone complex soundtrack
Just a little tid-bit from a favorite of mine. I will fill in more later about why I put it up here.
In other news, I have nearly reached $200 for donations to the JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes. MANY THANKS TO ALL MY FRIENDS WHO HAVE DONATED SO FAR!!! As far as the rest of you go, you better donate now, or I will hunt you down!! Just kidding. Maybe.
Oh, and now I need to locate my poem folder again…or create a new one. I have been selected to appear in my sixth or seventh book published by the International Library of Poetry, The Best Poems and Poets of 2005. Guess I have done pretty good so far.
Okay…other updates to come later. Talk to you then! ¶ 9/27/2005 04:05:00 AM
