Ode to Igby

Down into manhattan Igby goes
searching for anything else and
deconstructing everything else

Down into manhattan Igby runs
raging about waking life and
baking life and faking life

Down into pandemonium Igby strays
riding sideways below highways
reconstructing and deconstructing

Down into darkness Igby rides
reflecting the gaze of passerbys
yin yang streets and hollow seats

Deep into their eyes Igby dwells
seeking to be beyond endless pain
the tearing rain and awful vain

Down into time Igby sinks
cowering beneath heavy shame
innocence drained and nothing gained

Down into himself Igby falls
spiraling out of crowded tones
busy phones and boisterous silence
