In the shadow of New YorknWith these colors enveloped innVisions of warnOn this cinderblock highwaynI hold onto the wheelnWith both hands as I strugglenTo keep it together nTo the interstate exitnnA sight for the ages:nThe road melts like glassnIn this fifteen cent cinemanThe back of my eyes.nBeen running for days nFrom the plague that escaped nFrom my head.nnLike a bluebird our dear doctor flewnOut the window to kiss the morning sun.nAs a newborn babe he lay on the tablenAs they found the poisons entwined with his blood.nnAn elegy on this balconynThe seventh story beckoning.nFor cool release from the screaming criesnOf the dead. At the sound of my head.nnGod I'm not ready yetnThough the world shifts like sand.nA blunt force trauma to the back of the head.nWill carry me over, over and out.nI can remember every minutes of my life.nnAnd this timeline flashes like spots on the screen.nSeven stories of freefall to forget everything.nnnLike a bluebird our dear doctor flewnOut the window to kiss the morning sun.nAs a newborn babe he lay on the tablenAs they found the poisons entwined with his blood.nnFrom the balcony straight to the sidewalk split opennLike a book of well-drawn lies.nHe found quiet in the warm embrace of the pavement nAs it rushed to meet his mind through his eyes.nnLike a stage devoid of presence or sanctitynBy the morning these streets will cower empty again.nAs sirens like spotlights clean them like the rain.nnAnd again we'll rewrite the stories we're told.nOn the airwaves... nIn our own time... repeating... nIn our own bloodn...Forget, forget, forget, forgetnForgetting along the way.
