let's do it carefully though
an unnamed city is dangerous
it calls to all the lost souls
&
we are lost souls: so to name
is to become part of: to give
is to become part of: i have
&
i have become part of what
i fear most: i live between
the living and almost dead
&
i cannot decide which is better
&
so: let's name the city and i will
go, and we can walk like strangers
it'll be fitting knowing one another
&
as strangers know our thoughts
