street life boulevard

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
but its just the uncut version
of a scene thats playing through

out on the boulevard
the heavy life goes on
people playing simple roles
until their moneys gone

never knowing day to day
how long the gig will last
sometimes never caring
since they live inside the past

out on the boulevard
musicians tune their hearts
knowing that the song they play
might soon go off the charts

the meaning of the playwright
was lost upon the cast
and the audience was unaware
whose laugh was uttered last
