it’s midnight in laredo and my shoes slap the sidewalk like a dying heartbeat. people pass by like ghosts faces painted on smoke, and i pause — am i the only real one? then loneliness crawls my back like a wet coat i can’t shake off and i keep walking.

it’s midnight in laredo and my shoes slap the sidewalk like a dying heartbeat. people pass by like ghosts faces painted on smoke, and i pause — am i the only real one? then loneliness crawls my back like a wet coat i can’t shake off and i keep walking.
