...living in the middle of the ocean with no future, no past. And everything that's good right now, well, I don't wish for it to last. I step through brilliant shades; every color you bring. This time, this time, this time is fine, just as it it.
You're the windshield. Or the bug. Or the bug on the windshield or, like, the moth and the candle or some other insect metaphor. You know. Like that. Ants, man.
That time at that party, on Avenue A, where your skinhead friend passed out for several hours on the bathroom floor, and I wrote my number on a soggy paper towel. . . does any of this ring a bell?
Sometimes It's Like....
sometimes it's like
the start of a movie
the one in the desert
the one with the long road
sometimes it's like
the start of a story
the girl in the movie
the one with the long hair
And sometimes you know
the ceiling of your bedroom
is a long road and a desert
when she moves against you
in her sleep
Who is the sleeping giant
the one that took over the island
the gigantic claws that wrecked Manhattan
call out the army
the senator's screaming
she touches your shoulder
and tells you you're dreaming
again
and sometimes its like
you find yourself back there
walking that long road
the movie is ending
the credits are rolling
the girl's back at the car
waiting
for you
waiting
for you
