There’s always someone
Sitting on the floor
Looking skyward
Not keeping score,
And it feels weird
To bring an empty cart
Out of a shopping mart,
And have nothing
On your list checked off,
And to drive around
All night on a weekend
With a stomach
Running on nothing
But pure wanderlust;
When life puts you
Out of sorts
You have to do
Whatever you can
To gather your thoughts!

Collecting and assessing ones own thoughts is very important to get the proper perspective of the life we are leading. Especially when life puts you out of sorts! Great observation.
