These Nights
There is no way to differentiate between our lives and our history
And I am no one but my history of these moments
The place I can smell and hear and taste
The cool feeling of sweat on one's neck
Thrumming in each foot against pavement
Hearts wishing they could be more than in our chest
And living ultimately becoming unsatisfactory
Our creation is our units of cigarette butts and half drank tea
Of streetlights blinking in and out against cold railroad tracks
We are the moments that say amen and curse at unspoken rules
and one day, despite these errors our live will add up
in cigarette butts and half drank tea
and never ending houses if lights on too long
