Going Downtown
                 
Hurting down the subway lines to you
Borough to borough to borrow
A little break from heartache
                 
The movement of living now
Pulled by hungry vectors
Back in all directions
                 
And the skin pulled, hugging
The edges of the pale skull,
The dancing bones of strangers
                 
Ruining for the same stop
Under the river, under the water
Where the city rises, where we sleep.
