All my friends are in pain
I can see it burned deep
The cattle brands
On their cold grey faces
Francis Bacon paintings of the street
People are so much younger
Then I remember them
Vibrant
Searching but still lost
In a world full of bastards
Drifting to their own advice
Quiet minds
Sifted and strained
Through some
Personal electronic device
Their dreams drain me and draw me out
Conversations like club-music
Winslow Homer in the background
I can only feel compassion
I can only believe
One day you’ll grow up
And then maybe you’ll see
