Vessel in Vain

[erleich]

I can see that, I could be doing that
Another film about the monster

and here I am
eat earth/drink water/dig deep/you should not be waking
Today we go to the arboretum to see the Bonsai
I have been waiting
My trees are all sleeping
Save the Fig who is content to see the world
through the picture window

I think of a man and I take away reason and accountability
the Uptown Horns fade in and out
the voice is in pain
Midtown
curb pillow
"and all the rooms smell like diesel
and you take on the dreams of the ones
who have slept there"
But what do you think you will find there, in the city?
