The people smell of clay
Come and go in trains
Rails of a narrower gauge
Overgrown and rusted
Shirt buttons for eyes
Thread and needle, thread and needle tight
And opposable lips alright
But you have not adjusted
Calling home
When you know the wire is
Severed from the phone
Calling home
A penny for a moment
With your ghost
No light in the firmament
Has even claim to permanence
You know
The issues of the day
Window worms all down the pane
Tales of a narrower gauge
Of just who can be trusted
Where your childhood river snaked
They sell t-shirts with the stain
Taking pride in acid rain
But you've still not adjusted
Calling home
When you know the wire is
Severed from the phone
Calling home
A penny for a moment
With your ghost
No light in the firmament
Has even claim to permanence
You know
