Anthony Fiumano

I like sweeping up at night and when strangers say "hello"
There's broken bottles everywhere
Grafitti in the snow
You can drag me home and tell me all I need to know
Light of mine

We were bandits long ago
And the money wasn't bad
And when policemen found us out, it only made you mad
I think of all the things we took and all the fun we had
Light of mine

I invented science
I was pardoned of my sin
I never shook the feeling
My attire is my skin
It has not worn or faded but it has not broken in
Light of mine

I watched you late last dinnertime
You dropped a burning seed
You blamed it on the earth and things the fever made you see
I walked in all out of luck
Another mouth to feed
Light of mine
