Movement minx, mincing meat She tides through jungles in wake leaves shake But east side eidolon her sleep displays Between the concrete displays, her age and her rage A dream like a rag rests on the spires of her city Centuries of men reflux into muscle Pushes her along, her excitement belongs To none other than herself (you're young (sometimes rich) once) My father never liked cities, "they're all the same" But daddy don't you know that's where the future is And neon vines drop down from scaffolds Grab her by the waist and bring her up up Where she rests, solemnly gargoyle at Outrageous heights. I'll surely miss her, that old gal of mine.

Old City Girls
Movement minx, mincing meat She tides through jungles in wake leaves shake But east side eidolon her sleep displays Between the concrete displays, her age and her rage A dream like a rag rests on the spires of her city Centuries of men reflux into muscle Pushes her along, her excitement belongs To none other than herself (you're young (sometimes rich) once) My father never liked cities, "they're all the same" But daddy don't you know that's where the future is And neon vines drop down from scaffolds Grab her by the waist and bring her up up Where she rests, solemnly gargoyle at Outrageous heights. I'll surely miss her, that old gal of mine.
Some become waiters, others brokers But the alternative is to play poker And the alternative alternative... well that's a long story I suppose peeps get juiced in it :^) I dedicate this poem to graffiti art
