Outside - The Machine in the Garden

will I ever be there?

will they ever care?

there was never a time

with any meaning

never a place

to find a beginning

the words never spoken

and the past long forgotten

the road never traveled

and the memories now gone

why don’t you see them?

I’m sure you know them

why can’t you hear them?

for they are there

the future never happened

and the feeling displaced

as if in some other light

and into the dawn of the day

a thought outside of time

it could just go away

transparent eyes look inside

through to my senses

these games they play

I’m on the outside

I feel so far away
