a man with a dog can't compete
with a mother pushing a baby carriage
along the highway

huge billboards
advertising stuff with slogans
that nake no sense

grey complex, almost
abandoned by people,
planes, even stores

a police car in disguise;
the world gets a weirder place
with each passing day

you leave the house
you turn the same colorless grey
as the rest of the world

the new year started
like the old one ended:
rain, wind, spring like temperatures
