pinkish-orange and blue snow glowing
from frosted, neon letters above me
this goddamn city seems too slow-going
at the start of january
disbelieving all the memories of those longer days
caught beside what is so contrary
at first the american apparel beanie
when i see her skipping, and wonder:
are you leaving for the future?
fuck everyone that you’ve known
to hell with everything that you own
you’ll just keep your thinnest book and clothes—
cause you’re leaving for the future!
you’re leaving from the nearest old
amtrak station, ticket in bare hands
plan on falling in love with as many strangers as you can
we’ve been quite tolerant of the twenty-first century
but not for very much longer so…
(nearing this amtrak station, ticket in bare hands
plan on falling in love with as many strangers as we can
we’ve been quite tolerant of the twenty-first century
but not for very much longer)
you’re leaving for the future!
guess i'll be there in a few, sure
