the mysteries of this world add up
sum to sum to sum
and yet there are depths, and depths and depths
no human should ever plumb
every grain of sand is a riddle
laughed at by the beach
every star is a laughing sage
with nothing to teach
every street has no beginning
every road has no end
every sunset has a message
that it will never send
there is a light in every window
that goes out as you draw near
there is promise in every smile
that dissolves in desperate fear
the beautiful people beckoned
but only in your dreams
now the streets are all deserted
as rain in the gutter streams
no cat or dog or police car
as far as you can see
or even a fellow drunkard
for pathetic camaraderie
the party goers have all gone home
vanished without a trace
there is a picture pasted on the lamp post
"wanted" - of your own face
