Peter Schwartz

9 lines towards the next time

There is a thin line of momentum that runs through everything.
On my good days I try to hop it like a boxcar, on my bad days
I simply watch it pass.

This is the gambling that lives in all of us, call it human brokerage.
And my heart is a very, very delicate vault.
Withdrawals and deposits disturb my momentum.

I suffer these undying symptoms;
they keep me running from the places
I've slept.
