Art Direction by Matthew Frazier
Dedicated to Patricia.
You crazy Colombian, we'll never forget you.
we were standing
at forsythe and Bowery
flowers and painted forehead
trying to forget
you can't tell if the ceiling's rising
or if the floor's falling out
I remember sunrise without sleep
godlike and cowering
taller stacks of stones
is all we'll have to show
you can't tell if the ceiling's rising
or if the floor's falling out
at the time I wasn't with you
by that time I didn't care
the fall is so much faster
than you and I could ever climb
