Where bums piss
And marble mounts,
Where stomachs growl,
And mouths pout,
Where the city never sleeps,
And where homeless
Creatures creep,
All eyes gaze
Your way.
Where the infinite cigarette
Stays lit,
Where dreams die
All hopes to shit,
There I wait,
There I waste.
There I count the minutes,
The days.
And the beating sun
Won't let up.
You can smell the stench
Where last night's hobo
Threw up.
It's there, here,
Endlessly,
I wait.
Where the hair on my neck
Stands on end,
Where the prickles of
Goose bumps tickle my skin,
The glimpses of ghosts
Out run me.
The bluest blue stretches
Beyond eyes can see,
The hurls of words
Like daggers pierce,
Like Ninja stars,
Lost.
In a black hole abyss
LOST, SOS.
Swallowed by the Sound
Aching soles
With no one around.
No one to be found,
Get out of town.
