A moment here another there or there,
It’s not like it matters or someone cares,
Standing, sitting or just milling around,
Screaming, whispering, or not making sound;

What is the insistence with existence?

A dirty street with a broken side walk,
Rooms of strangers where no one stops to talk,
Grime smudged windows of stores full of empty,
Reflected ugliness for all to see.

What is the insistence with existence?

Time spent here being hardly anywhere,
Not much different than being nowhere,
Continue for just continuing sake,
Pointless being yet no leaving to take.

I'd take a moment here or there
a moment with you anywhere
of time or place, existence spent
with you, insistence to circumvent...

oh just having some word fun...I don't think it has a meaning at all...

It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul."

Thank you, nakdthoughts
Always nice to inspire words of another
It is the best a writer can hope to do,
Even if they are meaningless, or in my case
Emotionless
