died in San Pedro

all the words get lost
when snow returns to April
showers too cold for most to handle
his head could nearly explode
with information how many million
situations seated squarely
across the table set for one
might show him he is not always wrong
way down the one way street
he knows too well been stuck in the headlights
he hasn't moved an inch
someone will turn him the right way eventually
going back to where it might all make sense
probably not as he rethinks his path
stopping as his lights dim
in the presence of another
sometimes it is not supposed to matter
it it makes sense
it's just life and people just don't seem
to care about the words
scattered dying in the streets of San Pedro
rebirth in the east at nineteen
unknowingly choosing the pen
and smoke over bat and ball
how many are really disappointed
