A boxcar towards Detroit
A cheap ticket and no work week
Train ride rhythm and we stack for nothing
A few hours until conclusion
So I might as well tinker with time
Pick apart these scenes so consumed and complicate nothing
Hear goes one more run for the cynical articulation
Some faces surround for common ground
Some minds scattered by seclusion
Some contraptions consolidate the wonders
Another nod for the distraction tube
No need for introspection
No need for eyes made astute
Cheeto dust and pocket lint for your friendship fund
Cracks complicate a ceilings resilience
Buckets like ****** Toons
Deafening roar of water on tin
A window frantically frosted
Makes blooms blink and breath contract
Casually heads cluster
Laugh inside the sick and gleam a new gold watch
Knock and smile for another soul suspended
Salted avenues crunch like brown bag bottles
Some homeless frozen into earth
Some malignant machinery shrouds the crossings
Air like an avalanche
Face feels like nothing
Solidified fragments for the descent
Ponder another pixel and they fall around this body
Water sticks like concrete poured
Heater heaven for a half price function
I've never felt so low than when the high is momentary
I've never known a God that needed so much reassurance
The sun shines but the cold is never controlled
I wish for Palm tree torture
So why do I head North?
