Floating through

avenues

Just a place to be, be a part of

Alone again with you

Breathe it in

Cough it out

Bend an ear to scream and you hear shouts.

I sold myself to you

A line forms outside of Katz’s

Tourists snake around the bend

A man shakes a cup rhythmically

My wandering eyes blink again and again

Because it’s easy to come by

Much harder to let it go (x2)

Corner store

Shuttered down

Save the dimes they have for the turnaround

They need you more than me

Spoken out

Written down

Just a Storied vision of the downtown

When will I start to see?

Look up, and ask, this day, where does it go?

I sold myself to you

Breathe it in

Cough it out

Its a place to be, can you hear now?

Alone again with you

Calvin’s ad on houston

Falafel man sitting in a cart underneath

A Cricket game blares from his phone

Soda cans sweat in the august heat

It’s easy to come by, much harder to let it go

It’s easy to come by, much harder to let it go

I was, thrown in, as it is

So it goes, and so it’s been

Better to see, picture of

Don’t take from it, I know you can.

You were so, inside it all,

Like how we stare at the road.

Blame it all, cover up.

Just waiting, starting, hoping to begin.

I don’t think its a noun,

Face down, look for it again

Stare out, sitting down

I just won’t say not here

Right now, looking out, down,

You see truth right there.

Pick it up, put it down

You look for it again.

Easy to come by

Much harder to let it go
