Bouleversant

on the pitch – field – court –class room
party – home – your bed room.
it is amazing how alone
it is amazing how crowded
it is amazing how wrong
how it just doesn’t fit
like a shoe that’s too tight
like at same time too loose
like you are aware of a
pebble can be there too
of its own accord
not for you to choose
strange how so many claim/ how easy
(it comes to you)
strange how you strive/ how hard
(it comes to you)
strange how it never seems to be easy/hard
(it comes to you)
claim you strive, seems never easy to be so hard
good enough NEVER good enough.
