Pin - Signals Midwest

Disrupted dirt and sinking sediment

Underneath every new development

I made a sound but couldn’t pin it down

And spent a decade trying to follow it around

With factories blooming fluorescence and steam

The city’s a story still developing

The turnpike gate clamps down to start the scene

Like a shutter snapping candids of a dream

You’re whiskey and soda, mid-afternoon

You mix it strong so there’s a crack amongst the croon

We’re taking shelter, throwing darts at works of art

Or tossing rings on strings at nails in the backyard

So if there’s love here

Then i have seen it

Then i have known it in its volatile grace

Concrete and water

Dappled with dirt and sunlit signals

Singing soft refrains of how there’s just so many other things to be
