IN NUMBERS

13 minutes after another hour
and i sit wondering
whether i've seen this one before.
do i know how many times
this has all happened
in the course of time, history and everything grand?

2 days pass and i have still seen
no shadows.
the dark is enlightening
as i wander through heavens and
run through hells:
its all a mistake i know too well.

5 years in a solitary confinement
and my bones are as transparent
as my lies.
if you knew who i was
you'd wish a worse fate
for i am the scar
on a wound that never heals,
just scabs.

1 lifetime is more then enough for me,
passing reincarnation by
with a laugh and a sneer.
when i pass from this world
there will be nothing more.

0 miles left to walk,
no more air to breath.
and i end this nonsense with a
