NIFOC

Don't understand what's going on
Woke up this morning,
All the hurt was gone
This is a new beginning
I'm back in the land of the living

WEDNESDAY.

There's a full moon out tonight... I stare at from my table...
I squint a little... Well, of all things. . . Can it be? . . .
Really? . . . No!. . . Yes!. . .Ho! hi! Oh, my eye!
My mind may be wandering, but I confess
I believe it is the man on the moon...

The TV is on... it's got the news on, but there's no sound...
The radio is also on... playing old rock...
Suddenly the phone rings...
It's mommy dearest calling collect from abroad...


You are only coming through in waves...
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying
I have become comfortably numb...

More people are coming in...
There's a woman that strikes my attention...
She's blonde and has green eyes... beautiful, sexy...
At first I think she's American,
but a second look tells me she's European...
probably Scandinavian...
Her face is familiar.. she reminds me of someone else...
Someone from my past...

I look up and there are 4 empty bottles of Rock Lemon on my table...
My head is spinning a little... and I space out for a while...
Then... all of these questions start spinning in my head...

Am I happy?
Am I the stupidest man on Earth?
Do I feel that all the effort and time and money
is being fairly compensated?
Is it all worthed?

Suddenly, I get my answer and it surprises me...
Because it's not the answer I was expecting...
But it's an answer that gives me clarity...
And now I see what the way forward should be...
