Lonely

it is so lonely here in time, 
2:30AM in a downtown diner, whose fierce fluorescents chafe the streets with
soulless methamphetamine heat,

If I could resolve the correction factors and bring us together again
If I could end this tyranny of time and space and hate
If I could end this night

If I could once again welcome the bluing morning,
the sweet cooling breeze, the birdsong
