Out There Breaching Quarantine

Out There Breaching Quarantine

The railways announcer says
Chirpy and urgent, says,
Always remember to touch

Commuters have chosen their clothes
Guided by their pheromones
A trail of ants surround a doughnut

Memory, where have you been?
Out there breaching quarantine

Hands free suits talk currency jargon
Heels click among the sparrows
All of the signs say don't

I found a place where we can be alone
Says an unmade face three doors along
The sun just says catch me I'm falling

Memory, where have you been?
Out there breaching quarantine

The subway echo under Degraves
A woman, a guitar and a case of change
Here everyone comes, headlong into her music

If I could just find a pound
Here on the underground
All scuffed and fallen through time

Memory, where have you been?
Out there breaching quarantine

Memory, where have you been?
Look at you, can barely hide your grin
