ELEPHANT AND CASTLE 3AM

Still here. Still moving. Sodium light on wet tarmac. The night bus knows my stop. Nobody checks the window anymore. The city keeps its own time now. I carry what I meant to say. It weighs the same as nothing. The signal drops at Elephant. It always drops at Elephant. But the bass keeps going. Under everything. Under all of it. Still here. Still moving. The city doesn't need me. That's the peace of it. CCTV caught something real. Nobody checked the footage. I left a version of myself on the southbound platform. The dub in this city echoes long. You hear yourself two seconds late. That gap between the sound and you, that's where I live now. But the bass keeps going. Under everything. Under all of it. Still here. Still moving. The city doesn't need me. That's the peace of it. Let it go. Let it echo. Let it... Still here. Still moving. Still here.
