Citystupid (1984)

Citystupid
and the light doesn't shine
in my eyes
blind longing and filling
up the emptiness
in streets that reek of unknown
piss
beer bottled up inside
molds to stink
and tar is its bed
in the company of fines and arrest
and filthy clothes borrowed
from the charitable
dumpster
complete dissolution
the dream of surviving
and survival's fit
only to be rejected for being
glazed over 
as ice in winter
muscles emaciated
so eyes can't 
see
giving up the ghost and keeping
the lovely bottle
trade me in for the deposit
trade me in and keep the empty
trade me in and keep the change
trade me in
I'm too stupid now
to live in the city.
