you like
to think of the names of
the streets in the town where you came from
then imagine the day when the signs were first hung

and you're sure
that you can predict
the value of the outdated rhetoric
and the poster your friends have you hang on their wall
you priced them all

and you like
to walk on the ends
when you follow your friends down the stairs
you say it sounds like some old watching man got confused

all the things that you say to me
just seem like
some strange story to fall asleep
you think of
and i'm trying my best to see if i can't be caught

bloodbath on municipal
i overheard someone say
there's a horseman counting seconds for
the end of someone's day

banished be cavalier!
that's what they shouted from the windows at the end of every year
