In school the one thing I have never learned

Is how to forgive those who never apologized

A new place in this headspace of mine

Angered and unsurprised

Both at the same time

A fleet of empty black cabs

Lights glowing, reflections on the harbour

This place that doesn’t exist

I was born taking life too seriously

Taught that the world worked logically

My teachers taught me the word optimism

They spun cotton candy lies, fluffy and sweet

That melt in an instant-who could blame them?

How do you tell a room full of second graders

That their future is full of bitterness

And cynicism trapped with no escape

From this headspace full of black cabs

And people who don’t apologise
