big town blues (xv) 
café noir français
i’m over the metro 
there’s no northern rumble 
just tasty orange and coffee 
dark space delight
 
weakly hotel hopping 
afford & chaseable cheap 
desalubrious archaic 
arrondissament’s borough yeah
 
bienvenue identikit architecture 
that’s the storey count 
that’s the window style the guests to fail 
that’s the fence of iron low
 
that’s the form dictated 
ok you can stop transcribing now miss jones 
you ceased to exist 
ten centuries ago
 
when jesus walked on ice 
and again a while back 
when dictaphone went bust 
that’s the specie progress
