a man inside my mouth

startle myself awake

even has a soft key

you know i know

will a stranger too?

see the man as i sing and it's dark

he's got two boys slinking there

what of ourselves? nobody was an angel

wrapped in his thread so damp and sore

single file

i wait in line

to race like the night before

there were two of them sitting on the ground

slinking his head from side to side

singing

i promise you it's real"
