The most brilliant thoughts of the century
Thrown in a garbage can,
Wadded in a paper ball.
People walk by
Step
Step
Stop?
But they don't,
They keep on moving,
Past the wisdom of ages.
Crumpled the meaning of life,
As rain patters around.
Drip
Drip
Drop
Ink on the paper runs,
Leaving only a blank sheet,
And only the memory left,
The meaning hangs in streams.

I wrote this while watching a moviw about the Doors, as such, I can't promise that it will make complete sense.
