my meaningless chatter

it is only since i have been to halifax
that i feel this need to be immersed
into an asian society
and asian culture

it's got to me
all of a sudden i feel this need to be back
with similar people
strange how there's this need
of common ground
and sadly for a common skin colour

it hit me today
at the local bar with many from my class
that i don't connect
or simply i don't really care
and that it doesn't matter
a lot of meaningless chatter
is what i can't stand

______________________________________________

what i really need now is sleep
got four hours last night
the renovations in the apartment
have once again awaken
me at 8am sharp

i'm still completely tense
after a good beer
a good mint hot chocolate
a good mint chocolate biscotti
and a good spillage of the mind

need to hit the bed

maybe it's up with the stars
maybe it's under the sea
maybe it's not very far
maybe this is how it's supposed to be

maybe it's trapped in a jar
something we've already seen
maybe it's nowhere at all
maybe this is how it's supposed to be

looking forward as we rewind
looking back is a trap sometimes
being here is easy to do
if you want to
