Quiet Flicker

(hummmm) (ahhhh) Bench outside the neon sign that died

(pretending not to look)

Still checking the screen we try to hide

(a picture we mistook)

There's a hotel Bible in the drawer (did you find what you

were searching for?) We don't talk about it anymore

(no, we don't talk about it anymore)

Diner's closed, the metal blinds are down

(quiet in this town)

Only static left inside this sound

(static all around)

There's a hotel Bible in the drawer

(did you find what you were searching for?)

We don't talk about it anymore

(no, we don't talk about it anymore)

(any more...) (hummmm) (ahhhh)
