i've got an impulse to escape this rut. the same scenery viewed from a graying bus window, the same smoggish city air that my lungs have come to get accustomed to is slowly poisoning us. the same decrepit people tattered in rags and ravaged with schizophenia aimlessly wander the same streets where giant monuments to greed, morally vacant ideals are being erected. lofts, tapas bars, brand new icons of the 21st century, an era of purebred capitalism... sigh. something about sitting alone in front a vast painted landscape to soothe the eyes that brings a smile to my face.
anyway, i want out. i need to escape city life for a while. i'm contemplating my options. i don't know if i really want to finish through with college, at least not here. maybe if i were to transfer my creds to some obscure campus, on some therapeutic environment, replete with vast scapes of nature.
another half of me wants to explore this giant world, and that driving force pushes me to get away from it all, to some foriegn area, jumping from place to place like a giant leapfrog across a map. an ocean of possibilities lay ahead...
time is escaping like rivulets of smoke from the gaping mouth of a lit cigar. there's so much to do, i must escape the monotony of daily life.
this song brings a ray of happiness in my numbly depressing world.
yeah.
