The boots are falling,
Just outside the door.
The clothes are packed,
Don’t need much more.

The sunlight is bouncing back,
From the black street,
Leaving some behind but,
Got so many people to meet.

The signs don’t say it,
The map don’t show,
How many miles that,
I have left to go.

I’ll head on south,
Drive by the dawn,
By they you wake up,
I will already be gone.

By the time I arrive,
You’ll already have lost,
The shape of my face,
And a hold on the cost.

I have some money,
Some stolen none lent,
And I’m leaving the car,
Where the repo men can be sent.

The Sun’s almost drowned,
But I got too far to go,
There are no clouds haunting me,
Ya know the stars are all different in Mexico.

So I’ll head on South,
Drive by the dawn,
By the time you wake up,
I’ll already be gone.

I’ll already be gone.
I’m already gone.

This reminds me a lot of the song "The Vanishing" by Stars. Have you ever heard it? You might like it.

Never heard it no...

A modern take on Robert Frost's On Stopping in the Woods...

Hey, ever hang at Chumley's to soak up the dust jackets and marred tables? Pre-fire, of course.
:iconikio:
I wrote it while listening to Beck - Guess I'm doing fine.
Frost was the most distant thing from my mind.

Pre-fire?
If I am in a bar it could be on fire and I would not notice.

I am 1/2 through a bottle of rum and I got home 25 minutes ago.

I like Beck. I even like Beck recycling Beck.

I'm at home cooking KD (best on the street, so the kids say) and sipping Ontario wine.

Chumleys is this hidden bar... in NYC. Famous authors got pissed there. This is an important ritural. Kind of like lucky underwear.
:iconikio:
Author's get pissed everywhere...
My place is this shithole called McSorley's (there are a few in the city) but this one has peanut shells on the floor, tables you can carve into and they brew their own horrible beer for like 3 bucks a glass

Yeah, McSorley's, I'll dust off me boxin' gloves and ignore my nut allergy. Carving in tables is fine... but Chumleys is a rite of passage.... and their home brew tastes way better than piss, not that I would know...
:iconikio:
I am almost sure I have been there...
For about a year I bummed around with these rich Rhode Island brothers with fantastic weed and they paid for everything.
Thought they were writers but...not so...I am sure we were there but prefire or post...no clue

Just wrote this what do you think?

God bless this rum upon my table,
Fuck the boys in Iraq,
While we all sit here eating pizza,
They know they won’t be coming back.

Ask me questions about the Indians,
The ones that run around the seems,
While the old folk remember Berlin,
They talk about the American Dream.

So bless this rum in my bottle,
While they die for gasoline,
While I press upon my throttle,
They die for diamonds that gleam.

Oh mother bring me home to Jersey,
Where the quiet waves collide,
With the beaches that we prey on,
And the secrets that we hide.
