Couch Surfer

Turns out I've never been anything but alone.

I do not know what home means

The definition of alone seems

To be the word that hits home

The foundation for how we show up in the world

Alone

Supposed to have someone we relate to

But ultimately, alone

Neither here nor there

Just the facts of my existence

Move along

Life never lost its engine

Propelled forward by the pistons

Gas me up

Might as well stab me up

That’s the danger of belief

The audacity of hope

Pin yours on other people

Take another hit of dope

Don’t you know we are

Alone
