Circle Wars - Kelly Joe Phelps[00:00:01]
The sidewalk coughed up[00:00:40]
Weeds and cracks[00:00:41]
A book a magazine and[00:00:44]
A penny and a dime[00:00:47]
Oh and Carl looked behind him[00:00:51]
Making sure the scene was empty[00:00:55]
Breathed a sigh of bewilderment[00:00:58]
Noting that it was[00:01:02]
Not that he expected to[00:01:09]
See Anita coming up[00:01:12]
With a brown bull whip or a[00:01:14]
Box of daffodils[00:01:17]
Yeah the night quiet bruised his ears[00:01:21]
And forced him into alleys[00:01:24]
Where the gravel crunch was friendly[00:01:27]
Under polished army heels[00:01:30]
Under polished army heels[00:01:37]
The steps on St Andrews[00:01:45]
Seemed the best bet[00:01:47]
Catch a little shut eye Anita[00:01:51]
Could sweat some[00:01:54]
Bleed a little inside or find[00:01:58]
Him in the morning[00:02:01]
Hunkered down like a derelict with[00:02:03]
Mustard on his chin[00:02:07]
Oh then the concrete froze his ass[00:02:14]
Through the holes in his pants[00:02:17]
Winter's not the best time to make[00:02:20]
A martyr's point[00:02:24]
Carl caught the corner where the[00:02:27]
Wind wouldn't get him[00:02:30]
And he absentmindedly spun the[00:02:33]
Ring 'round his finger with his thumb[00:02:35]
Yeah with his thumb[00:02:40]
Tomcat screams like a baby[00:02:50]
In the backlot[00:02:52]
Just as Carl's dreams kick in tight[00:02:56]
The light keeps stuttering hailstones[00:03:02]
Between the boughs of a maple[00:03:05]
So many voices in a one man night[00:03:08]
And he starts to see the fool[00:03:19]
Behind the windshield[00:03:22]
One hand on the steering[00:03:26]
Wheel another in the air[00:03:27]
Trying hard to catch the jet[00:03:31]
Stream to make the flying easy[00:03:33]
But only grabbing hunger[00:03:38]
For another man's life[00:03:41]
For another man's life[00:03:47]
And Anita makes the corner 'cross[00:04:23]
From Jones wrecking yard[00:04:26]
She been walking half the night[00:04:29]
And oh her legs are tired[00:04:30]
Why she thinks does Carl have[00:04:35]
To take it so hard [00:04:38]
Is it me that makes him lose[00:04:41]
Who he truly think he is [00:04:44]
He's the same damn man[00:04:52]
He's always been[00:04:55]
And I love him like I always[00:04:57]
Did like always[00:05:00]
What on earth will make him[00:05:04]
Feel satisfied [00:05:07]
I love him like I always did [00:05:10]
Like I always did[00:05:13]
Like I always did[00:05:20]
She leans against the street[00:05:28]
Light watching him sleep[00:05:29]
Watching him turn and turn[00:05:34]
In a tide pool[00:05:36]
And she slowly walks across[00:05:39]
The steps of St Andrews[00:05:41]
And stands there looking a[00:05:46]
Minute or so longer[00:05:48]
Yeah she tugs on his coat sleeve [00:05:56]
"Carl please let's go"[00:06:00]
But she stands oh doesn't[00:06:03]
Say a word[00:06:05]
And they walk side by side [00:06:09]
Not touching nor explaining[00:06:12]
Just walking home to face[00:06:15]
Down the circle wars[00:06:18]
Yeah yeah yeah the circle wars[00:06:22]
