"then take some ******* shoes." gucci, prada chanel, vuitton walmart, target overstock stores there's tar stuck to the bottoms of my feet and the blister burns are forming shaking the bridge is not shaking not shaking don't look down don't look down look down look down you have to look down murky green whitecaps "how fast can you walk?" how fast can i push you over the edge? and of course the asphalt's fresh so fresh in fact the trucks are still rumbling by why would you walk a railroad bridge unless you wanted to jump or you wanted to wait as you felt every last vibration before death? i hate everything everyone and that may sound ridiculous but hating is easier than honesty tar get the tar off me toes sticking pulling against the splintered metal i should have taken some ******* shoes.
