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

They sell t-shirts with the stain
Taking pride in acid rain
But you've still not adjusted

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
