Looking for a place to think
But not too hard
Throw a jacket on
Turn the music off
Go out for a walk past the storefronts
Looking sideways through the shop windows
As they merge into each other
And you start to feel unfocused
And the grid falls over you
Color schemes
Vision lines
Everything to a pattern
Purposely designed
Nothing haphazard
Every shop a little world of things inside
And you can only think about
What's on your mind right now
The door gets smaller from the other side
I see in and keep moving to the next one
And keep moving
Everyone competing for attention
And they've got mine
All of them
One at a time
Looking for a place to sit
I'll sit outside on the sidewalk
As the people who I live with keep passing by
