driving at night on the highway
eyes fixed on the road
someone told me just that night it was
hard to let things go
...
from brownstone streets of children's books
from basements of chamomile and the common cold
from wanting to vomit, unable to get out
from screeching owls across the sky while sleeping
...
1:
i'm listening to a song
the singing is extremely emotional,
but the instrumentation is completely electronic
...
they went to find a place to sleep
they woke up inside what seemed like a mansion
a resting place for those who feel the need
to stay and wait as the rain sets
...
let's go out into the city tonight
i live on the streets of this city by day
and parade into homes for spare change by night
to wait and go out into the city again
...
Midnight In Kingston
driving at night on the highway
eyes fixed on the road
someone told me just that night it was
hard to let things go
i've been avoiding this feeling
that nothing much was real
we dance around in circles, then
decide what really mattered
and it's getting colder
they were playing some kind of music down the stairs the other night
i thought of you
or someone i knew
and it's getting colder
they've been trying to put you away for awhile, now they finally have
just another thing to worry about in our
tiny sea of atoms
driving at night on the highway
eyes fixed on the road
someone told me just that night it was
hard to let things go
we dance around in circles, and
soon we pretend to feel
we dance around in circles, then
we know what really happened
and it's getting colder
and you didn't know what to do about this little bit of jet lag,
but soon you'll forget
and remember again
and it's getting colder
you'll meet all the most valuable poets you've ever known, but couldn't see
you'll wonder if they're real,
and they will be for just awhile
staring at you on the subway,
nowhere much to go
nothing left to lose except for
everyone i know
midnight in kingston, and i
don't remember why
someone told me just that night there was
something after you died
and it's getting colder
the days are getting shorter
