Grow into a Ghost

Press my head against the glass
 Infinitesimal city streets
 And for a moment I welcome the axiom
 A transfixing breeze of relief
 Sailboats littered in the Hudson
 Today is Saturday
 Cloudless people in sunglasses
 The black glitter of New York City
 I write you ceaselessly and abstracted
 I hang out with old friends
 And they unknowingly remind me
 Of who I was before we met
 You were somewhere out in the desert
 You frame the natural light perfectly
 Will you come back soon and
 Let me love you completely?
 I watch you
 I watch you
 I watch you
 I watch you
 I watch you
 I watch you
 I watch you
 I watch you grow into a ghost
 While all the desperate people around me
 Breathe life into objects with certainty
 The likelihood of death in this very cab I'm in
 Will be today's undoing
 All the desperate people just like me
 Breathe life into objects with certainty
 The likelihood of death on this corner
 I'm standing on will be my own undoing
 I watch you
 I watch you
 I watch you
 I watch you
 I watch you
 I watch you
 I watch you
 I watch you grow into a ghost
 I watch you
 I watch you
 I watch you
 I watch you
 I watch you
 I watch you
 I watch you
 I watch you
 I watch you
 I watch you
 I watch you
 I watch you
 I watch you
 I watch you
 I watch you
 I watch you
