this feeling
i can't articulate it precisely
but in my bones
i know it
we all know it
but nobody will say it
when I draw together all my experience
all I have seen in this dirty city
all my decades
all the law
i know it
this is what it tells me -
it says:
the road is long,
the journey will be hard,
and the destination a barren place
full of fear and reprisal
we won't all make it
some good ones will fall,
some bad ones won’t
God don’t write the morality plays
(he has someone do that for him)[1]
I know all this
and yet it draws me on
something impels me
it is sales actually
