Wino Poetry

As life moves on backwards in space
I see faces reversed, people through people
I move above and beyond
My view straight through sees it all
Minds that turn and churn
Those that lay empty and still
Hands in hands
Words with letters dark, shine through and onto cars and faces
Everything moves faster and faster
Flash forward more people, more lights, more faces
More are missing and more are lost
More slide through and down
This is not real for me
The more I know, the more I experience, the more people I meet
I rewind back to where I was
Everything new that is supposed to open my eyes and fill my mind
Sends me battling more and more
Tugging to pull in a never-ending channel of right
Darkness wraps its cool hard arms around me
At the end of the tunnel, I see a tunnel
