better to be worst /
and see the future first /
grabbing the tail /
feeling the bend of the earth /
coming up quick behind /
what happens happened /
brand new is only a cardboard box /
all the guts are gone /
maybe a centennial penny /
to give it a curious rattle /
and fresh nostalgia /
with a soft coating of irony /
for tiny teeth /
each argument gets a silent laugh /
I’m meeting up with my ghost tomorrow /
to go over his itinerary /
pencil in the cancellations and collapsed venues /
update the playlist /
for a 12-month winter /
layering the sites /
with a final sameness
