I've been where I'm supposed to beat least once or twice now.I always end up driving away the first day the weather gets nice out.Luckily there are only two seasonsin Western PA,just construction work and snowstrorms, and either way they cause a delayso I'm always latefor everything,but it's a great excuse,so i can't complain.I remain. I remain.I meet this guy who says he's lived here his whole lifeand now he's pushing seventy.He says he knows the name of everyone in this town who has done the same and believe me, there are plenty.So I said, "maybe sometime you could introduce meto someone who's lived here longer than you;whoever owns that house on the corner with the stained-glass windows and the pointed roof."He says, "I've got to warn you,He's a bit of a recluse.SongtexteMaybe try the bars,buddy, that's what we do."I remain.I remain.Right now, I've got my wallet fullof things that I don't need:my money and my IDand Laura's old apartment key.I watch the grass grow greener on the other sideand it makes my eyes water when it gets cut.I leave my keys in the ignition, lock the door, and slam it shut.Maybe this will keep me away from college.Last time I went, I guess I never left home.I'd just wait for the weekend so I could still pretend I hadn't grown;hadn't grown alone,hadn't grown so small,hadn't grown apart.I didn't grow at all.I remain.I remain.I remainin the same state.
