here the hot air has nowhere to go
i light a cigarette and the smoke rises
directly into my eyes
a line of cars waiting,
a line up of lives stalled in the passing lane
passing on the chance to take a chance on life

longing for the feeling of longing
searching the sky for a sign
checking the back of my eyelids for the vision i once had
i cant wait until i dont have to wait anymore
...somewhere it is new years day
