The nerves start the closer I get,
waiting for the curve, where is that fucking curve
I know it’s here
The tears come, the anxiety…
that fucking anxiety
Doors open left or right
Right, towards Brighton 14th
Walking, coffee, the nerves subside
The walkers, the chairs, the foreign words,
the same as before, nothing changes
nothing changes
Pass the same empty lot from years ago-
still empty
Pass the building
nothing changes
Pass the park and our spot
Nothing changes
Feelings unknown
walk on, walk on
The boardwalk is cold but nothing changes, the same old faces
Look out, the sea, the ships-
maybe if I look far enough i’ll be home
And soon they’ll all be dead.
