Mason Proper:Traveling Men (The Pond)

From Lyriki

catapulted over walls,
over highways and mini malls
crash landed in the pond
where i'd swim once my life was gone
but that wasn't for some time
so i dried off and left
and lost my wrist watch

hitched a ride--i'm holding fast
to the tire of a bus that passed
bought a watch, but the clock was wrong
at the station where i'd get off once my life was gone
but that wasn't for some time
so i rested my hands
and lost my wrist watch
gambling with some traveling men

walking through the city in the acid rain
my body dissolved so i poured into the drain
i trickled down channels and emerged watchless
in the very same pond where i'd one day rest
but that still wasn't for some time
so i changed phase and left
and lost my wrist watch
gambling with some traveling men
