Upheaval

Run to catch the train

Porous metal sound grinding

Needle drops

 

The strings creep

tunnel wind sweeps like the first note of the

symphony

 

Sonic upheaval

Your subway trash

Spending all this cash

Submersible weasel

 

I'm out of breath

My cheeks are red

I look like I'm 25

You're looking at my phone

Convinced I lied

 

My bag is checked

I'm on the next plane

I say I'll be back

But what if I never see you again

 

How angry would you be

How hard did you fall

Racing through the turn stiles

Gotta make last call

 

I dropped my gloves in the pub

All the mementos you keep in your closet in a corner on the floor

 

All this upheaval

Your memorabilia

People are just people

You collect them like a hamster like there will never be more
