Lyrics

And it didn’t take long for the words to slow, roll over
the gravel shoulder, thump into the ditch, engine cut,
battery dying, the station metastasizing tumours of
evangelists and ads for vinyl siding, the city some cheap
EQ with the mids pushed up in the one long note of wheat.

Too far to walk to anywhere from here.
