Empire Falls |
I envy the quiet lives that for all I know don’t exist |
Outside of a lazy book that won a Pulitzer Prize |
I picked up 'cause you said it opened up your eyes. |
I’m wired now and will be 'til I find a person who could eat at the Empire Grill |
Who’s seen a black mercedes at the textile mill |
and spreads the word to all the folks expression hasn’t killed. |
I’ll follow that car down to Boston, and ask what it wanted in Maine. |
Coffee at least for my trouble, and I’ll be a hero if I came back with |
something to say. |
.. |
Too late, they wouldn’t like me there |
and though they might not mind my inquisitive stare, |
every single one of them is too polite to care |
why I’m enchanted by a way of life in disrepair, |
but I’m not taking apple pie eating, Jack and Coke drinking, hopeful lie |
telling, anywhere, |
America, through camera eyes, On a Hollywood body that could make you all cry. |
Maybe I’ll go to the movies (a comedy would be ideal. |
Something that probably won’t happen) 'cause this made up town is much too real. |
