soul coughing - angels are 2 men on a mission lyrics

staked out three days in a chrysler we watched
through the motel cabin picture windows we went place to place
moment to moment
desk to television and telephone and back
50 miles past the montana state line
we traced them across the missouri
stumbling through the dakotas
stopping in gas stations and stores
cl+stered in little subsidies of commerce
fast food and supermarket villages caped like lars
and the [?] of the turnpikes

goodness close to month to lease
indeed there were times in diners when he was tastable
sat like a temple in a dream of forests
we lit his cigarettes
slipped change into his pockets
replaced his maps; crumpled soft as cloth
weeks passed and the tension, the muscular, jittery antic+p+tion of the chase
pulling us like lovers
still young and pale and smooth
in the tangles of our memory and ignorance
“the point of quests are not their fulfillment of the journey itself,” says my partner through chesterfield haven
laughing in the quiet voices of his cynicism
we are never+ending with the trench coats and the novels, you know
our minds sailing back
down the green of ohio and virginia to the carolinas
the old, blue chevy spit out elastic exhaust between barnwell and hamburg
jesus
two days frantic in a roadside bar+house
feeding endless streams of quarters into payphones
breathless, calls the contacts and points north
bennettsville, palmyra, romney, annapolis, h+ll, pittsburgh
now tulsa
the pipelines, like veins or fingers, spread out open to accept us
beckons homely
we know that nevada is no longer a dream
we can see los angeles and portland and the pacific ocean
thirsty blue on the maps and know it is the near future
we are tired, keep bumbling
in our sleep we see an afternoon on which he has invoked before us
we remove halos, sunglasses
we curtsy and greet him
he blinks odd in our lights
stammers in the aura of the boundless drag, we carry like a post+cracking briefcase
and present like a business card
“i happened to check the rear view mirrors?” we asked
he sighed
our eyes bulge and our mouths tremble as he breathes
god d+mn
