The wheels are turning, they never stop...I've lived an infinity of lives since a beginning of time that never begun, that will never end, and here - walking home on the crack-toothed sidewalks of small-town Indiana, empty Bud Light can faded and tangled in green summer weeds, diesel trucks driven by gruff men heading home for meat and potatoes and television while I stare at my dirty feet scrape pebbles and cement and breathe the exhaust - I grow tired.
