IF

I keep moving from hour to hour

IF

I am willing to go to places where nobody knows my name

or cares if I live or literally die at their feet

IF

I am willing to learn to listen to music and be there in the moment with it

even IF I am probably never going to listen to it again

I will be a different person then I was before I went to those indifferent and unwelcoming places

and hear things I don’t want to hear

I get to be a new person, a different person then the person I was before

and that is not such a bad thing.
