hey lady

hey lady, when you see little ones dreaming, do you -
sigh and think of the might-bes? or scorn their light dreams?
for youth has no weight, an eternal mouth gaping
while old hunches, torn by so very many...
we are the soul, heart and ego
excited, exploring every turn and crying
for every still-born baby till
the significance was lost, hey lady,
do you still look to the skies and gasp in surprise?
rush for the first bus that comes to take you away
always away, greener pastures see
as time passes, we see, that things ain't what they seem
take a glass, another, till we're all just tipsy
when we can all just forget, ...hey lady?
