seventeen dayz of phrase, seattle, washington


seventeen dayz of phrase, seattle, washington
january twelve, two thousand and ten

when the streets wake up.

talking with smart men
sitting in swollen cushions
banging ideas around
that may never find a rhythm
that may never induce practicum
sit and spin plastic grin

when all the older dudes stand up
the streets of American will wake up
when who we are is a synonym
for what we say and do
substance will poke thru

"thus men will lie on their backs, talking about the fall of man, and never make an effort to get up."
- henry david thoreau
