The City

Sometimes the city obliterates.
Sometimes my bedroom suffocates.
Sometimes the coffee isn’t good.
And other times it is.

From the plane I saw an
orange light, where I was born.
Flashes now, like Venus,
on my retina.

An absence shouts, a presence speaks.
I haven’t found a job in weeks.
So I’ll just be here in this place.
Don’t mind me.

I let the dishes pile for days.
Not because I didn’t want to clean.
The bits of food along the porcelain were
meteors falling from a grey sky.

An absence shouts, a presence speaks.
I haven’t found a job in weeks.
So I’ll just be here in this place.
Don’t mind me.

Sometimes the rain drops from the sky
and forms some crystal column spines.
Sometimes the traffic growls and snores;
I ignore it more and more.
Sometimes we go through the emotions,
sleep on dreams, and float on oceans.
Sometimes a chorus in a forest
chants and chants and chance and chants:

A perfect tiger with perfect stripes!
A perfect tiger with perfect stripes!
A perfect tiger with perfect stripes!
A perfect tiger with perfect stripes!
