The Rest of the City to You

While you were asleep
We the Rest of The City broke our backs
Having fun
Could no longer spit we had such a good time
And we called other cities
Met them at the corner
Walked some of the way together
Wound up alone in the backyard
Singing “Slip Sliding Away” to ourselves
And earlier we were eating “Crosstown Traffic” to ourselves
Oh you should have been there
Are we waking you up too early?
We thought you’d want to hear
About what happens next:

Picture dreaming about me every night
And know that’s how I need you
I wreck my head when I’m not with you
I want to kiss the town you came from.

We told her she smooched us.



I found this on the floor written on a slip of paper
it looked like it’d been there on the ground for months

When summer
Becomes winter
I will find you
We will supper
We will dance
Go to concerts
Buy a pet
Call it baby
Have a baby
Name him Spot
