Weeks 1-52

"I've been out walking
I don't do too much talking these days.
These days I seem to think a lot about the things I forgot to do
And all the times I had the chance too.

I stopped my rambling
I don't do too much gambling these days;
These days I seem to think about how all these changes came about my ways
And I wonder if I'll ever see another highway.

I had a lover
I don't think I'll risk another these days.
These days.  And if I seem to be afraid to live the life I have made in song,
It's just that I've been losing so long.


I've quit my dreaming,
I won't do too much scheming these days.
These days I sit on cornerstones
And count the time in quarter tones to ten.

Please don't confront me with my failures;
I have not forgotten them."

  1. What do the quotation marks at the beginning and ending of the poem mean? Does this mean it's a quote from someone else? Or maybe song lyrics? Or is it your original poem? Whatever it is, I like it, and I love you.
