Eugenia Zukerman Follow

And the even busier
Patrons and vehicles
Argue my elusive steps
Through the blur of urgency
Here, I'm always on my toes

Until an abrupt blond door
Stowing a porcelain blond girl
Knock me right onto my back
And for a moment we're alone
And we both know that we're trapped

If morning never brings
Salvation for either one of us
Leave me and save yourself
I'll only slow you down

Breathe in slowly
Are you listening?
On this muted block
Everything is paused
You glow, blinding
Breaches my pupils

I taste your skin, I see our kids
I manage to siphon
Some breath from out my gut
Tell you to take my hand and run

I'll be waiting for you to come home

Extra, extra read all about it
A corporate head's been murdered!
His secretary found him
Scandal, slander
Catch all the gossip
From what I hear
The chief executive deserved it

Let's leave tonight at dusk
When the lights shine bright
Miles of cracked, crooked paths
Lit by buzzing filament
And neon glass

If morning never brings salvation
Leave me and save yourself
I'll always love you

And the even busier
Patrons and vehicles
