It was a warm night in autumn, he'd caught a cold and then he spiked a fever
He'd stared at the sky;  a star crossed the horizon, then it was gone
As if someone threw a lever, his sense of forever collapsed in a blur
As if that were him that had flamed out light years ago

He swallowed two aspirin, his temperature reverted but then came inertia
The semi beside him fishtails past scrapes on the ramp's metal railing
He pales at the connection to his newfound disaffection
As he creeps nearer the intersection
His stack of files slides sideways on the seat beside him

He pulls them back, back into a stack
He pulls them back, back into a stack

"Hey ho, let's go" - he hears from a radio, from one of the cars that inches up slowly
Like an ice floe aside a drifting boat, like a sinking optical mote
A wall of traffic, slow-shifting havoc, he can't tell from which car or how far
Tires scrape and squeak against the stick of the tar

He taps out a beat on the steering wheel
He taps out a beat on the steering wheel

He does a handstand in front of the bandstand and knocks over a microphone
Bouncer grabs a belt loop and prints his back with a dirt sole from his vinyl boot
Dragged through the kitchen, ripping a stippled riff across the scabbed up black floor
Raising a faint puff of dust, then he hears wind gust
As he's shoved out the screen door

In the alley, his personal chalet, the stink of wet rust and mustard
Pigeons like buzzards in and out of the dumpster, pecking its innards
His head starts clearing as the pain grows searing
He straightens his tie; fears rise then subside
It's a new frontier for him this year - no holding back

It's a new frontier this year - no holding back
It's a new frontier this year - no holding back
