Being Last

What lies behind us and what lies ahead of us are tiny matters compared to what lives within us. - Thoreau

alpha and omega

driving an old chevy vega

barely able to afford the gas

along with salicylic ghosts from the past

i walk the crowded sidewalks of what's left of my mind

never waiting for the sign to say, "walk"

back when i was a kid in school i rarely raised my hand or waited my turn to talk

i guess i never did like being last

Author's Note

So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen. - Mathew 20:16
