Cruising on the highway ..... dark in the night

nook and corners ..... darkness sway .....

Light by the lamp-post .....

Shadows .... light .. psychedelic interplay

Searching for the silhouette

whose shadow I can never be

Aimless ambling down the alley

mindless rantings in the cranny

tears in my eyes ... fret on my face

I carry on the search,

regardless of what it means to me

I see the apparition, far away ... lost and frail
with tear down a cheek.... asking me

"Destiny or ... life's irony ?"
