open for business
hello sir
yes, there’s a vacancy in this inn
though we’re not looking for anyone to fill it
its emptiness means nothing unless we say so
so
move along
do you read the word yes anywhere on these lips
do you see an open for business sign hanging around my neck
sir, i don’t quite know how to explain a concept rather rudimentary
yes means yes
no means no
this ghost town is telling you
to go
it’s not your responsibility to make us whole again
not your duty as a man
to get every shop up and running
every streetlamp buzzing
contrary to your belief, we are very content
living within the peace and quiet of our brick bodies, shutters closed
