some other path as yet to be defined

it is so easy
              to feel
  disconnected
from all of this.

i don't care
about
celebrities.
i don't like most
movies.
i can't endure
video games for
very long.
politics piss me off.
religion
is just fucking weird.
i could care less
about fashion.
i listen to music
by dead
composers
and long gone
blues men.

           and there
   comes a point
where you look around
                 and find
that you're
       standing alone
without a comfortable
                    niche
  to support
the mess of
            experiences
you've had in
  your life,
and wonder if this
is as good as it gets.

must i wear tight pants
                        to fit in?
do i have to recognize
holidays
     that i can't stomach?
must i bother
with the illusory
accumulation
                     of wealth?

hold this opinion.
hold that opinion.
                          join us.
become a part
        of the
              machine.
it yearns for
        you.
it moans for
        you.
fit in to
our version
of the way things
                        are.
play in the street
with all of the traffic.
but,
where do you go
when all the roads
             lead to
                   nowhere?
