Z) drifting

drifting
through shredded memories
and vapour dreams.
living on vitamins and glucose
and cheap whisky.
never remember the names
the faces come and go in the darkness;
never remember the names,
no hooks for the heart
when they vanish in the night

reading a rejected shopping list
by the light of the microwave

wandering motorway services
bus station kiosk
railway pub

filled with random travellers
I'll never have to know
I'll never have to ask
do you care
do you know
the dark secrets
of this life
