Reflection

Reflection

it’s different

the world

you had

in your head

when you were

spoon-fed

once you hold

your own menu

pay that first

ticket, that first tip

the table

starts turning

tilting and twisting

and you’re

walking around

dizzy and dazed

just want to lie down

and sleep and wake up again

thousand tables whirling

get up, sit down, get up, sit down

in the blur, there’s a man

just standing there

and you can tell

he’s got tokens plenty

but he’s not using any

just walks away

in your head
