Reply #3: talking to a salesman

[Perseid]

and sounding out his soulless explanations
one by one
I wondered what I was doing
where I was walking
and why
I listen
to soulless, burnt out excuses for yesterdays misunderstandings that are now
30% off
and I
looked at the salesman with eyes
to be described
only as vacant
70% of me paid no attention

You live somewhere far away from where my heart resides
I'll see you
in the classifieds
mr salesman

...but, it does sound like a really good deal.......
