Hoyt-Schermerhorn (and a Man with One Hand)

The other night, I met a man with one hand
He asked me to roll a joint for him;
It's not easy to roll anything
With one hand

He had some kind of a face
With a Venusian mask on it;
Some kind of a mask
Imposed on his face

Waiting for the G train at Hoyt-Schermerhorn
At four in the morning

Where my dog
And everybody waiting on the train platform sat and stared

At everything, or something
Becoming nothing

A subway conductor in the corner
Moved the universe with her hands, and said

"Somebody just walked into this train station
Jumped onto the train tracks

And just, like that, started
Flatlining,"

And my dog
And everybody waiting on the train platform sat and stared

At everything, or something
Becoming nothing

A subway masturbator in the corner
Milked himself with his hands, and said

"I've never seen anything like this before;
But I've never seen anything

Waiting for the G train at Hoyt-Schermerhorn
At four in the morning."
