i hate

living this half
empty life
smell of the new
buildings
books,
to dive into a
chamber
deprived of all
abandoned by all
perhaps i would be happy
i do not desire that
no.better.
id hate that.

neon lights
fast cars
my blue bubble becomes torn
all the books on my shelf
remind me of a past long forgotten

cigarette after cigarette
and i'm still here
now
sleep
dreams of insanity, dreams of death
real world is catching me,
sleep is a restless fight
perhaps some alcohol could
perhaps.

"Willard: [voiceover] Saigon... shit; I'm still only in Saigon.... Every time I think I'm gonna wake up back in the jungle. When I was home after my first tour, it was worse. I'd wake up and there'd be nothing. I hardly said a word to my wife, until I said "yes" to a divorce. When I was here, I wanted to be there; when I was there, all I could think of was getting back into the jungle. I'm here a week now... waiting for a mission.... getting softer; every minute I stay in this room, I get weaker, and every minute Charlie squats in the bush, he gets stronger. Each time I looked around, the walls moved in a little tighter. "
