On your marks, ready, set, go to sleep. Dream of yet another steeplechaser caught beneath the water pit by the sirens of the stadium, calling for a re-run when there’s no escaping it.
And soon enough I’m wide awake and waiting for alarms, daylight and a sign. I will commandeer the words of Joe McCluskey about laps and finish lines.
For every now and then they go set the stage and start the show, then mess up on the homestretch, trust some absent minded newbie with the countdowns and the cards.
And soon enough I’m standing on your doorstep, playing coy, drowning out the signs. I will countermand the words of Joe McCluskey about laps and finish lines.
And surely soon enough I’m wide awake and waiting for alarms, daylight and a sign. I will commandeer the words of Joe McCluskey about laps and finish lines.

Lit then burned. Lesson learned. You are when I should have turned left on 92, headed straight down 48, pulled up at the Shop'n Save and sat back to conclude: I'd rather be the no-show than the pinned.
Oh, Weston West Virginia for the winter tour. The strange allure of an architectural cure and ghosts of treatments past. But every now and then a glance, a stare, a sports coat or the way you cut your hair will throw me off my guard and turn me into a nonsensical dimwit in the bowels of a former loony bin. Oh, Weston West Virginia for the win.
Listening for the night group closing in. Oh Weston West Virginia for the windows to the fall of the prizeworthiest plan, with hallway walls that flicker by the flashlight in my hand tapping on a bed frame, morse-coding a name that echoes through the sandstone a second and a century away.

They built this city on rocks and rolling dices, tax returns, Chinese burns and crude devices. And it’s a pity it sucks to talk about it, because when we talk about it all these buildings are a bait and I see one great city where you see one you hate. And all these floorboards are so cruel they will replace our weight with someone new as you fold and follow your headlights home.
You build your premise on gloom. Say foreign powers, panic, fear, riot gear or meteor showers will bring eventual doom, it’s estimated. But they miscalculated. For all these buildings will defy, adapt, endure and multiply until all their corners intersect to blur the borders between one place and the next.
So you fold and follow your headlights home to the curfews and the trees we climbed to get to windows slightly out of reach. To the school yard where we made our mark with two initials carved inside a heart. And you said that all you'd ever want was a rat race we could get out of. And I thought maybe you'd delay me.
