"Listening -- To Gary Numan"
By Troy Walters

Listening...
As tears well
You're unaware
Of your impact
On my life

Listening...
My mind wanders
Are my thoughts
The same
As yours

Listening...
And feeling
You strike
Every nerve
Dead on

Listening...
And wobbling
Don't really dance
But
I could

Listening...
And understanding
I've made
The sacrifice
And been in exile

Listening...
And becoming
A new man
Your inspiration
I'm determined

Listening...
As I visit
Wishing my life
Were as neat as
Your NuWorld

Listening...
And realizing
I have faith
But no use
For religion

Listening...
Entangled by a Webb
Like many others
I find comfort
Here

Listening...
In awe
With appreciation
For what you do
And how

Listening...
As your pale face
And royal "do"
Monitor from
My desktop

Listening...
As I stand
At the machine
Your Army face
Whispers quality

Listening...
With fascination
Though I know
It leaves you cold
You inspire

Listening...
Emotions are strong
You've shown me
It's okay
To be human

Listening...
As tears well
Amazed by
Your impact
On my life
