lyrics
Monday (later:)
Sudden calm. Why do I feel so uneasy?
As I write this, a freight train passes somewhere in the distance, and the dogs all up and down the street fall to yapping. Strange, but tonight I feel for them – tonight there is something plaintive in their calls to this alien monster which barrels past several times every evening, unseen and yet familiar, to its far-distant destination.
Tonight I am going out again, but in search of nothing this time.
What point in resisting?
What point in anything?
