I want to drift out away from the banks of the fetid creeks, up, past the loneliest radio tower, uselessly blinking lights in the fog of static, trying to signal frequencies home. I want to swim in those creeks looking for the ocean only to find drainage pipes. I want to make a raft of my mattress and find my way to the poles before they're all
I can imagine it now The streetlights like your ribcage Parted by your asphalt spine
You never did quite reach the buildings in the city Only the garbage that floated on the river banks It was never really thinking too much of yourself It was only just aiming far too high
