should have known

he's right in thinking

it's amazing he is still here

the wind blows

from all directions

seeming to point to the end

of his pen forgetting he could never

take on responsibility

within a structure

that has so many cracks

and loopholes to get lost in

the shuffle of qualified persons

forgetting he could never

be taken serious

on any level the playing

field any questions to those

who really give a shit how many dollars

the store can make

it's as if he

might never make it

in the cruel business

world with nothing

to lose he closes his eyes

to the future dreams

within the dirty walls

thought to be thick

with everyday people

doing everyday things

and this should be enough

should have known...
