Human Highway

Out on the boulevard
Its just another street
Pedestrians are actors
In the poets blind retreat
Some will try to listen
or see the overview
Its just the uncut version
Of a scene thats playing through

Out on the boulevard
The heavy scene goes on
People playing simple roles
Until their money's gone
The meaning of the playwright
was lost upon the cast
And the audience was unaware
Whose laugh was uttered last.

1978
