I took a shower tonight
naked and free
it was a specific moment where
all I yearned for was loneliness

I dream of traveling down the sardine-packed streets
like an invisible stranger
gazing silently
at all the
lovers quarreling [you never loved me, did you]
children playing [that fountain is the castle]
and
the depressed walking quietly [all my moments hurt]
with a pack of cigarettes
and a calm that sits so still
within me
that I can be anywhere
naked and free
