Tribal paint flickers as illumination passes by packed platforms of private souls spilling into peripheral vision Saturday nights create fresh perspective on unconscious thoughts An unpulled can of tired, bow-tied Spaniards and white-clad partygoers Tinney earphones thrusting Brooklyn's finest 99 Problems aren't on my mind but in my (un)willing ears And I saw you on the street 42nd I'd say I was filling my lungs with the poison, beautiful, you showed me You walked past me just another stranger you in 10 years time They say everyone has a doppelganger in NYC I haven't seen mine but she's seen me and Brooke saw her too, rolled up Levis and a frown you looked as beautiful as you always did but clean of everything you'd ever touched or is yet to touch you because nicky clouds my thoughts lift me higher I wanted to tell you that I pray now But I let you walk by and disappear leaving me with myself coffee spilt from matches got twisted and wouldn't light I'm one handed, crowded city but you're not here.
