Another Even Flow

Sony I-Pod blaring

to the beat of Stone

Temple Pilots “Plush”

 

me strolling without a

care in the world

concrete under my feet

slapping to the rhythm

of heartbeats embracing

life

 

streaks of eternity in front

of me, sunshine on my face

color-coded dreams in my mind

all of my regrets are boxed neatly

and put away for another day

 

dead man in my path disrupting

“Even Flow” by Pearl Jam

as I walk on by

I look precariously at him lying

there motionless on the cold

hard unforgiving concrete

while my music plays on with the lyrics

 “freezing. rests his head in a pillow made of concrete, again.
Oh, feeling maybe he'll see a little better set a days. ooh yeah.”

 

I step over him

late for my appointment with living

Lyrics borrowed from Pearl Jam:
“freezing. rests his head in a pillow made of concrete, again.
Oh, feeling maybe he'll see a little better set a days. ooh yeah.”

This is simply meant to show how un-caring society has become and immune to this type of thing.

    it may be fine for the song

    It sounds very sad for those who still have life. Kind of I'm not following, I just listening as I go.

    I borrow my housemate's iPod, and always feel very pretentious when I use it. I don't know why. But it IS interesting the way the music fits the moments you stand in ... so often.

    I'm certain you'll do well in this contest.
