Banished Be Cavalier

you like
 to think of the names of
 the streets in the town where you came from
 then imagine the day when the signs were first hung
 and you're sure
 that you can predict
 the value of the outdated rhetoric
 and the poster your friends have you hang on their wall
 you priced them all
 and you like
 to walk on the ends
 when you follow your friends down the stairs
 you say it sounds like some old watching man got confused
 all the things that you say to me
 just seem like
 some strange story to fall asleep
 you think of
 and i'm trying my best to see if i can't be caught
 bloodbath on municipal
 i overheard someone say
 there's a horseman counting seconds for
 the end of someone's day
 and the civilians are mildly sleeping, too
 banished be cavalier!
 that's what they shouted from the windows at the end of every year
