miserably in manayunk.

she comes and she goes

she goes and she comes

back just long enough 

to cover her salutation

rounds.

little sister's got the bug,

she likes to move move

move

new walls, new roads.

what's out west? she

doesn't know, but 

it's there, it's untread

by (w)hol(e)y suede

boots not made

for walking,

but she's gonna walk it,

swim it,

hitch it.

she's gonna get as

far as tennessee

before the city cesspool

opens its waters

to cleanse her dirty

feet.
