Metropolis

Thanks to theorist Helene Cixous for the phrase "Because changing I"

Between the wars they come to hox us in the stable,

So why am I holding this guitar neck like it's a bone broken through the skin?

These paragraphs aren't up for auction where your charts and graphs

Do all the talking. This pen still moves like a robin tricked into love

With the click of my tongue.

Because changing I, please focus your particles on mine,

Great-grands of thunder, under one sun.

I'm ready to dance when I can't run!

And I will tie this promise around my shins:

Scream Everything! Scream Everything!

Still this pen moves like a robin tricked into love with the click of my tongue!

(And we shuffle down the road with the smell in our eyes.)
