Are you ever lonely she says It depends On what you call loneliness my friend Eating and sitting alone in a crowded restaurant or cafe Is not loneliness to me - Some of my best poetry has been composed Mentally in such places - surrounded by others, watching and Reading the Free paper slurping bottomless cups and rolling cigarettes Too many bottomless cups and too many cigarettes perhaps Over hearing different languages seeing occasional old friends I have a friend who says that he could not live as I do Alone and complete, needs someone with him at all times To talk to and to listen to be complimented by Strange really the same friend was always The one to be the strong one in the past Says he is poor in his 1/4 million dollar home on the hill So what do you call loneliness she asked Not having any hope or ambition other than what this life hands out And what does life hand out? Traps for the unwary traps that are easy to fall into Traps that lure you in and smother you in false hope and security The lure of a cosy woman who bleeds you dry and leaves you low Lures of amber liquid dreams and head aches Debt that drives you down to seek ways out you wouldn't do otherwise Life all sounds so full of traps In can be a trap but note it can be for the unwary Heard a bloke once who lived to 109 said the secret was Never go to bed on a full stomach
