whatever . . .

collect my duds
and take them all
to willie’s
i can pick them up
when i go through
that part of town
tomorrow afternoon

i won’t be back
until I’m over
till the sirens
can’t seduce me
when i look at you
and i refuse to answer
like you always do

or when i reach
that moment maybe
never turn around
or not remember
without grinning
what we did
so long together
