Miss Spiritual Tramp of 2008

What was it that we
used to do some days?
Dream about where to live
Talk of common interests
Feel the weight of the world
while we lay in our beds
We're missing you in Southern California
We're missing you in New York
We're missing you in New England
We're missing you at the closed down Barnes & Noble down the street
from where you used to live
when you were a kid
Walking outside
Not being tired
All the god damned time
My nervous eyes
Jealous laughter
The way you smile
When you'd tell me off
Or you'd lie
We're missing you in Southern California
We're missing you in New York
We're missing you in New England
We're missing you at the closed down Barnes & Noble down the street
from where you used to live
when you were a kid
Now I stand
where we stood
when you left
the first time
I saw you tap your feet
to the blinking hand
as you waited
for the light to change
We'll have you in Southern California
When it snows in the San Gabriel Valley
We'll have you in New York
When I find my way through their streets
We'll have you in New England
When Allston cleans it's state (?)
We'll have you in used book stores
'Cause all used book stores are the same
