  • smeared black ink: your palms are sweaty
    and I'm barely listening to last demands
    I'm staring at the asphalt wondering what's buried underneath where I am
    I'll wear my badge:
    a vinyl sticker with big block letters adherent to my chest
    that tells your new friends I am a visitor here:
    I am not permanent
    and the only thing keeping me dry is where I am
    you seem so out of context in this gaudy apartment complex
    a stranger with your door key explaining that I am just visiting
    and I am finally seeing why I was the one worth leaving
    d.c. sleeps alone tonight
    you seem so out of context in this gaudy apartment complex
    a stranger with your door key explaining that I am just visiting
    and I am finally seeing why I was the one worth leaving
    the district sleeps alone tonight after the bars turn out their lights
    and send the autos swerving into the loneliest evening
    and I am finally seeing why I was the one worth leaving
    I was the one worth leaving
