Hoboken

My hair is short because I shaved my head
I kept it
I dunno, I just shaved it
then I got into shaving my arms for a while
they looked so artificial, so cool,
like plastic

oh this,
(pointing to his arm)
I was studying architecture
It wasn’t a happy time, not a happy time
I would stay up late and cut myself with an exact-o knife

I was doing it for a while

(looking at the largest one)
Did you go to the hospital to get stitches?

Why was it the last time?

He laughs and he says
They told me I’d have to stay along time if I didn’t stop

Now I do other things.
