It's part of the cycle Walking around the city Looking at the architecture Each of the places and names recur Each of the buildings' facades is telling you something There are cold and leatherless automobiles And you hold a ticket that's counting down to zero And it keeps counting down past zero You don't hear the woman You see her arcing body Trace a line through the ice As you the read down the buildings Ticking down, down to zero, down Black on red and red on black You don't remember But you were there You've got the GPS trace But now the woman was in heels and You've got the crackling voice of a guilty man Or a punctured tire Or a sotto voce balloon deflating Invocations of martyrs on tape machines Like a slab of rotting meat left on the table Or trees that only choose to sing in major keys I dreamt about your organs failing While you slept silently beside me Waiting out the moment until there wasn't any place to go Anyone to hold onto Breaking bottles on the walls of The people in their beds Their kitchens and pools You're leaned against the wall Your human body begins to slide down the wall into the water You feel like you keep control Until the last possible moment And then your body lets you have it The faces that you found attractive All the hours the you spent in traffic Invocations in dreams of teenage machines And future lovers left dying to meet you This is your the last solo travelogue And there's a frisson down your spine At the name emblazoned on the buildings And there's a shape in the palm of your hands You try to throw it as far as you can There's a figure draped in white With grasping hands and blonde hair like a wig He followed you into the street As if he knew what you knew And had a perfect perspective Of your busted up skull, on the outskirts of town Of your Hollywood nose broken into pieces In the stories of others that you'd filed away hoping they'd Come someday in handy or could be used to redeem you But he knew all the stresses that your body could handle And none of it matters Cause now it was with you And none of it matters Cause now it was with you And none of it matters Now you're part of the cycle
