Dealers

the time has come

for me to be moving on,

get ready for the next

phase of my life,

learn to be at peace

with all that I have;

make do with what is there,

not what I want to be there;

I read the things

no one reads,

I go to the places

no one goes,

I see the people

no one sees;

I can no longer let that

guide my life,

all I need is this small

quiet voice,

which has existed inside

from the beginning,

inside this lonely prison

where everything is for sale;

even this;

in this world everyone

is a dealer,

in this world deals

are made and broken

every single minute

of every single day,

as everything not nailed down

is sold and bought,

whether it is needed

or not;

regardless of the cost

.
