i. the rain falls down in sheets now, blocking my view as i stand here on the corner waiting for you i wish i was young again i wish i was warmer ii. counting backwards settles my mind like a surgery patient waiting for the blade (although you never use anesthesia) iii. the cab pulls to my corner you open the door i take in your aura a pulsing which displaces the air in the cab so this is what heartbreak is for

an incident near Washington Square, 1986
i. the rain falls down in sheets now, blocking my view as i stand here on the corner waiting for you i wish i was young again i wish i was warmer ii. counting backwards settles my mind like a surgery patient waiting for the blade (although you never use anesthesia) iii. the cab pulls to my corner you open the door i take in your aura a pulsing which displaces the air in the cab so this is what heartbreak is for
