label was the same
but street was cluttered
madness backed up
rush hour mess, wait at
light three times, rain
coming down, smell
of sweat damp stench
M street to Wisconsin
time it takes to get
home on a normal day
what're ya gonna do,
this ain't Kansas brother,
this ain't the open plains
I drew up the memory of
40, walking under overcast skies,
lost in a place I'd never been,
never believed I'd be,
now, here, here
the beer doesn't even taste the same,
it's not unexpected,
and it ain't the west,
I choked it down,
I ordered another.
