stream of my dreams coming towards me from within
i see the pale sky through the grasping half naked branches of autumn
from these train tracks abandoned and desolate cutting through the forest
i see the empty 40 oz and the dutch guts and the empty baggies
on the bridge the children spray painted "smoke 'til the cops come,"
and meant it and drew peace signs and hearts and huddled for warmth
this is anywhere, this is everywhere and this is right here
and the tracks lead to nowhere and that's right where we want to be

really seems like you got into the 60s kind of vibe!
i also sense the kind of nihilistic teenage attitude that so many people often overdramatize but which you do with great grace. thanks for your entry and good luck!
