lyrics

Between the fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth hours of the morning
Watch for the imposing river to wind south and spool into me.
I, the grandchild, a great grandchild of construction waste taking up space.

But I did not wind up down here to make you wiser,
I wound up down here, ponding, growing wider

Wide, wide, wider

Spilling out beneath prisms, lawn fountain mechanisms, and in the blooming shade
Beneath the divisions where stale, glistening,
cul-de-sac minds sit heartless with age.
Beneath the deep lake, the place of Miss Kate, screaming obscenities at the state.

But I did not wind up down here to make you quieter,
I wound up down here, ponding, growing wider

Wide, wide, wider

Let’s stop and imagine one small thing, for your consideration:
What if I was some golden, spirit child sent for your generation?
If I am, if I’m not, I’ll sit digging my thumbs in the southern pavement
And burrow in, ancient rivers, like spiders competing
Grown old, but grown wider.

Wide, wide, wider
