Waiting on pages
Let me waste wages
Stack a week
to make an hour
A salary for a Sunday out east
Or cents for a shotgun lease
Two jobs and two ‘jobs’
Free work doesn’t pay rent
Stop start all day
Takes an a hour just to get away
So get a ten minute ride
No simple way round
Having numb legs, numb legs and fraught talk.
A mile never felt so long
With so much between
-
Could be/free
-
Pass people,
pass on people
Endless supply to move through
Up 7 floors, through welded doors
Always looking over shoulder
Sights to be seen
Recognised through square eyes
Raised fists to the east
Sun rests upon fake feast
And we covered ground
Laid concrete waste down
To bake in the heat at night
Smog in lungs, and smog in skies
No avoid of poison prise
No avoid of noise at night
fans, motors and new found plans
movement doesn’t cease
Drift lanes
Jump under trains
Walking feels like a dream
But looks like a freak
The ones that holla on the street
Preganant, defeated or living on a dream
Every feet gets you closer
To the excuse for staying here
-
Could be free
-
Free, free to come,
To come with me
oh come with me.
Same face most days
Knowing names is a treat
Pavement clean and
Golden sun on brick
Peace, peace holed up
With time to think
No rushing down of sand
To work is waste
Time turns to other ways
To impress is waste
Time turns to other ways
To trend is waste
Time turns to other ways
To stay for sake of face
Take time to other place
