02 division avenue - vampire deer

December 7, 2017 5:36 PM

division avenue is a street in grand rapids - it's the few blocks south of downtown i have in mind - used to live in a residence hotel in 77 for a bit there - it's changed and it's not changed - but there are many places like it

the man at the farmer's market rollin' coal with his wheelchair
and the keeper of the vault in the bank has kidnapped god
accidents and purposedents are happening here and there
and people just walk by without giving anyone a nod
it doesn't matter what you do
on division avenue

clarence sings his elvis songs with his old milwalkee voice
and the cops are collecting paper bags and rocks
the air conditioned nightmare keeps driving on by choice
everybody's ship came in but there were no docks
it doesn't matter what you do
on division avenue

line up for dinner and line up for a place to sleep
next to line ups for artisinal donuts and foreign films
turn up that i pod and don't hear that brother's keep
while the anointed trade their laurels for warrior's helms
it doesn't matter what you do
on division avenue
