' that heartbeat is a metronome of waxing and waning rhythmic tides and it's an ' everchanging time signature to my overture overture and ' hand off and unsettle and ' thrown into uncontrolled rubato~ ''
' life over my shoulder strapped to my back and I'm flowing like a river down the elevator ''
' opening down the seam and out '' I step and roll heel toe heel toe ' eyes flick side and side glass door push open and box and glass door push open and push open push open and open... ''
' cold streets are the downbeat to sleet '' — '
it's frozen roads going backwards and I'm going backwards with all my lackwords ''
...slushroadslick. '
I'm returning and leaving like a medicine wheel spinning and there's a dead grackle soaking next to the curb slippery with toxic runoff... '
...crystal water melting '
my shoes slide from left to left and I've up and left and I'm climbing down the right side of a staircase and it's a case and it's a way that stairway
and that last step is 9:13am last step flat and platform dead and sleepy benches waiting for the listless waiting for the waitless ''
' waiting , waiting '' I hop on and hide... '
the silence is sacred '' the eyes are averted and it's one of the thousand different silences ' it's one of the rumbling ones but then it's broken and it's broken by an angry one ' and we're all alone in a railcar with seven others, we're all alone and she breaks it, ' she breaks it by spilling angry nothings into the phone that she pushes tightly to her skull ' and she grips it and she breaks it and ' and she breaks it and ' I hop off and run...
and once again I'm a thousand different faces waiting ' but right now we're two watching watching the hopping sparrow ' and it is so alive with it's warm fluffy feathers soaked with life '' '
and everyone is shuffle shuffle pacing '' ' but every body stands still with eyes saccading... sweep sweep, '
stay where you are, in your lateness '' and your action is in your inaction weightless... '
