I have no neighbourhood

I’m putting out my status
Into the stratusphere
And I got a job
And I got a place

But I have no neighbourhood.
They told me to
Suck it
Way back in
High school

But at least it was
Some sense of community
Like I belonged
Like I’m a tree
And my forest
Were the teachers and
The teasers

But now I got more
Or less
And it comes and
Goes
And it takes the place
Of millions
And millions
Of tiny wishes
That I make
Every day
For one look.
For one hi
For one smile
For one eye

But I have no neighbourhood.
There’s no people
Around
Who say hey
When they see me
And I sit
On the
Couch and surround myself
With music
To keep me from dying.
