| smeared black ink
your palms are sweaty
i'm barely listening
to last demands
i'm staring at the asphalt wondering
whats buried underneath
where i am.
wear my badge
a vinyl sticker with big block letters
adhering to my chest
tells your new friends
i am a visitor here
i am not permanent
the only thing
keeping me dry
is
you seem so out of context
in this gaudy apartment complex
a stranger with your door key
explaining that i'm just visiting
well i am finally seeing
well i was the one worth leaving.
d.c. sleeps alone tonite.

i was the one worth leaving
the district sleeps alone tonite
after the bars turn out their lights
and send the autos swerving
into the loneliest evening
i am finally seeing
that i was the one worth leaving
