Nomad You were like 2am rides on the subway. There were a lot of potential stops-But you just kept moving to the hum of the rails... Changing graffiti mesmerized you as you got lost in your own thinking-I wonder if you ever knew what you were imagining... Then again, nothing could ever beat the comfort of being alone, And finding solace after grief-stricken encounters. But you were always open to another's company, You longed for the warmth that came from being next to someone-Who wasn't tainted with a cold Heart like how you had been tainted. Painted over and over--you were like a dirty canvas Tossed in the back of an artist's workshop--he never could get the colors right... So there you stood somewhere between Being lost on 42nd and looking down Broadway. You had a full repertoire and an ass to match, but you were Just another face among the thousands that pass you in a 2 block radius. Even if you didn't have a place to call home-You had hope that someone would be welcoming... Signature MiMi (Michelle Tarshus)
