~Understanding begins, but does not end, with the act of perception~

"Welcome to your life.."

"For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin--real life. But there was ALWAYS some OBSTACLE in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life."

Tracks of Her Tears

Girl-
You look like you've been crying-
You know, I saw your tears from three rows back.

Girl, you look exhausted too early in the evening-
Riding the train, crying in the rain
Girl, you look like hell.

I know that feeling,
Girl I don't know.
I have been where you are,
in between here and there,
Eyes Closed.

Girl- trying to forget the feeling
of your tear streaked cheeks.

Girl- whatever it is that has you
weeping silently
on this commuter afternoon,
I hope you shake it off-
these dreary day blues.
Girl I don't know.
Girl I know.
You've been crying.
