RE: dream songs

I am not speaking of a party person but one who sees interesting things in
their daily life all about. Some one who can enjoy themselves and
everything else while waiting in line for his driver license. To that
person life is as interesting as some would consider a party, quite the
opposite of those who live for Friday night or work for the weekend.

the speaker of the poem is bored, but not boring.

i find him infinitely more interesting than a 'party
person'.

he has rendered one of the stations of depression.
