penny - our addict ring lyrics

[verse:]
he was much older than his age would allow
up to his neck in booksh-t and bulky filmstrips
his feet-first physique easily mistaken for
the head-heavy lit major
like a self-rolling pullman overstuffed with dead men’s clothing
he unicycled through a series of sideline jobs
no professional work properly suited ‘n tied him
although he always did find himself available for the city
volunteering to vacuum walkways in the thicker lived parts
one often forgets to re-comb through
(of course his wrist’s clock was soft like surreal paint)
that’s how we met and couldn’t keep him frame chained
a flashlight snipped through an embracing loop hole
when one spends the latching evening dragging along
electrical sidewalks she is doubtlessly startled by a cross st-tcher’s drift
he weaved through home fueled cars from street to street
with the magnified mirrored resistance in which
i dodged each strolling boomerang, altogether i unpacked my eyes
like the first two squished cigarettes in a quitter’s just-in-jewel case
and gathered him in a contracting camera lens
this is how i remember him, in a strand of flashes
read like a spiraling worm nourished filmstrip
he sometimes covered his mouth when he laughed
as if blocking some pre-elasticized truth
we were all tiptoeingly stretching for
and i often focused in on his hands to try to find symbols in
what was left of the earthworm prints
they changed with the sun’s debut and death again by curtain close
the unravelling reruns of an amending picture show
i’d love to thrust up from the ground and float with lamppost light
but can’t hold a closed fist and often catch a thread held tail
to lighten myself with, but it’s lead by another grip
and find that a full hand’s not always so thick
