KILLING TIME



how fast does a train go
when a train is no longer falling
i have never been in salt lake city
i have never walked on water
but i saw it the last time i came to boise
but ice is everything
my ringer did not go on
and i did not hear this
and your voice is in my ears
hawks and falcons are hawks and falcons
i guess you should know
that i never learned to swim through sky
what you call them
what everything used to be
when downtown used to be
where downtown people used to be
i would rather live
in a horse pasture
than in a strip mall
because i don't care
about conditioned air
what is your dogs name
what does he call you
what else were you going to say
i woke up too
i am sober too
i hope the pain in your stomach is gone
i am going to smoke a cigarette
