November rolled down I-90 into this town with the year's first snow and wind I closed my mouth into a fading highway line: straight, short, horizontal as the grey stains shade its white.
It's Wednesday night and the tunes inside my car underline a quiet month strained through these bars
"What's the score?" say apartment walls empty seats tied with unreturned phone calls It stood that way last I took the tally on shivering walks' shortcuts through alleys
This is just another rut walked into these roads where my unabashed feet and my aching toes can save my face some embarrassment when the bent skies straighten out this cracking pavement
Just a little while later, look back to the Sun, gonna warm my face in the Winter dawn and shake off these somber streetsalt thoughts caught my friends on the rebound, we'll remember now caught my friends on the rebound, we'll remember now
I'll be fine again come February. Line my stupid fears up, shade their eyes.
