Who's looking out?
Who's out there
looking in from the road
on which the world is passing by,
always growing larger
stranger and richer
or poorer and less strange
always growing larger
stranger and richer
or poorer and less strange
or older and narrower
in the rearview, as you
catch yourself looking
catch yourself looking
always away, off to
one side?
