the silence


by bofa xesjum



in the silent night
the night is silent
outside in the distance
the distance is outside

a car drives through the night
driven by a driver
who is going somewhere
who knows where

the car passes a truck
driven by a trucker
the truck has a destination
and a date with destiny

and you, pale wanderer
where do you wander
are you going anywhere
or are you just wandering

do you wander down a broad highway
or down a muddy road
or only downstairs to the kitchen
to make a ham sandwich

outside in the distance
the distance is outside
in the silent night
the night is silent
