Adrift

Adrift by Jack A.S. Dunce "Am I alive or thoughts that drift away?" Is what a cool rock band asked in a song And I've lived with my thoughts lost and astray Just sitting on the black porch bench all day With glazed eyes thinking: where did I went wrong? Am I alive or thoughts that drift away? Scared to face my world that's in slow decay The path I'd walked is not mine all along And I've lived with my thoughts lost and astray I walk and talk in this world's foreign way But I'm out to find the land I belong Am I alive or thoughts that drift away? Awake but in a daze and may dismay Head lost in the clouds of what-ifs and wrongs And I've lived with my thoughts lost and astray My mind lost in the far land of the fey To this now strange world do I still belong? Am I alive or thoughts that drift away? And I've lived with my thoughts lost and astray (c)pgmr 12/12/2023 *inspired by a line in the song "Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth With Money in My Hand" by the Primitive Radio Gods
