Sad Shape Lyrics

All your learning that
is fated to fade
grows invisible
and casts a sad shape
legs that have been on a million walks
negotiate the street
and carry the dirt
Your ragged coat
and home-cut hair
the sacred bus ride
to who knows where
Your pale kids arms
and plastic shopping bags
face destinations
determined
The saturation rise
pulls pixels apart
atomic s***e
widens and bursts
a single step
takes you over a mile
one basic thought
takes over an hour
