Analysis of Drifters and Dreamers

Tony Kruska 1988 (New York)



They floated along didn't know where they were
The drifters were born and their life was unpure
They drifted through life didn't ask any questions
They wore the same clothes and they learned the same lessons
Anything odd they just brushed to the side
The dreamers asked questions at least they have tried
