"The Empty Shell-Everyone's Hell"...ref. Camus



Lives are incomplete, a process.
Yet others seem to live their lives
To me
Who drifts and dreams
Of living.

People-watching,
Wanting,
Envious of their cheerful chatter
Pacing past with purpose.
While I'm content to
Fritter and potter
To pass the day in any way.

Well not content, I guess.
I want what others haven't got.
