What if I never stop wailing
for the lost heaven, there on Fifth Street,
the light on your hair more than enough.
What if I wander through eternity
without a soul, our name star but
an ash tray with no match lit.
What if suddenly scared, I break
into a run, make an unseemly presence,
there in the luminosity of space.
What if I cannot rejoice, but creep about,
fumbling for the house key, my wallet.
What if you too become scared, move from Fifth Street.
What if we never stop wailing,
a disturbance of homeostasis in space
and on earth, our name star but
an ash tray with no match lit.
