"What Else Happens?"

07/18/08

What else happens to the streets in your town?
What else happens to asphalt left behind?
What else happens on the streets I daily drive?
What else happens with all those looking eyes?

Thousands of windows looking onto familiar paths you've driven
Each casting reflections an individuals thoughts
Minds looking out onto asphalt
Absorbing nowhere the answers wanted back

You're driving through and over asphalt scenery
Ways to somewhere and from somewhere else
Ways to leave and discover us
But you drive unannounced and leave unaware

You're prolonging their deaths in the multitudes
