Time is no fine wine,
It grows no better with age.
Thats what N.a.r.c.h told me as he flipped through a page,
Drinking, reading Ginsberg, sipping rum
I take the train; its where I get my reading done
You can hear it, no person can deny.
You can see through a vision mid-day,
As you pass a painting reel of your passenger view
Of the ancient escaping into new
People are good to play fake
And no joke was ever really told.
N.a.r.c.h explained the difference between the cautious and the cold.
When you feel someone never really got you,
Its usually true
You can hear it, a stir from America.
The wheels keep turning too fast; youd burn your hand
To catch it in a place where we stop
And clean the mess and find a mop
Peace is called a solution,
But really a break from the fall.
The suns come, gone and all,
Id better write this down right,
Before it must focus in unnatural light
You can hear it in bridges above,
That form countless paths to rooms full of strangers,
So you can sit in a place with a tag on your name
With a trivial purpose or reason you came
This is a stop to begin.
N.a.r.c.h grabbed his guitar,
And walked to a car.
Id of smiled, had I a face,
But Id packed it in the back of my case
You can hear it, a mechanical laugh.
The death of your dreams, pavement cracks,
Roars of the told, rumbles of a train,
The embrace of love and the stall of your brain.

Very aprapoe to the level society has taken on these days. I feel as though it's truthful but yet had an old kind of wise feeling. Overall it seemed unconventional and I totally dug it.
