Part Seven

I must tell you that
Even if you took all the time that was needed
I'm going to explain to you
All that happens when I show you these things
Listen with all integrity

This afternoon was getting warmer
I started to sweat
It would be inconvenient to remove my jacket
I didn't want to change anything
Just noticing something outside the circle
The circle of people going through my mind

You simply must understand
Let's begin where it all started
All is agreed I will repeat
The convictions pierced fleshly barriers of sound

He said nothing
They acted like he was saving the world
She at his side
I was caught in the scheme of things
Wasn't I the same as them

I only saw the general picture
They lost themselves... I saw myself
But was I not lost to my own mental involvement
How many months of sleeping and waking
How many years of wonder and wander

But I tell you now... I must tell you
Please let me explain... it's just that
I want you to know... while it's on my mind
