Horchata, by Vampire Weekend: Lyrics to Poem

Krissy’s are here! http://krissyranae.com/2012/05/01/another-one-pulled-from-a-song/

boots and fists to pound on the pavement


the streets, they rumble

as pedestrians pass.

they walk, strut, jog

their way into homogeneity

uninterrupted

pavement pulsing,

the life, the blood

the heartbeat

no one step has any influence

there is no individual

but the city

she is each. and all.


years go by and hearts start to harden

once pliant

almost even meek

with a heart that bounces

she was eager tot please

eventually, disappointed

a single cell in her heart

crystallized

a protection for the future.

with a whince she skipped on

again a let down

bigger than the last

two cells then

boys came and went

and left their marks as well

the years passed

and the scars piled u

now a solid mass

and the shell

built to keep a heart safe

is in danger of shattering.
