This Gray, Unfortunate Place (2)

13 - Somewhat Less

Every day I hear the notion 

that anger's a cover-emotion.

Like, bitch, yes it is-

You know this, and I know this,

but here we are, anyway, 

stardust that fell away 

from the dark, deep space

and now we have our own 

set of faces- Situations 

that we have to understand

how to play right, lest we lose the fight

of trying to find our nest in a big life.

And don't try to cheat it

and stay in a small town,

'cause depression comes for all 

and loneliness drowns. 

I'm fuckin' sad now, but full of life

as I sit here and type 

about how I'm explorin' sights

even though it's digital-

Does that make it any less?

I guess that makes it somewhat less-

Guess that makes me somewhat less.
