Nowhere and Everywhere
Michelle Lewis
Little Leviathan

---

She's been traveling the sidewalks for hours
Stopping as every moment of the truth wanders past
Window shopping for religion or something harder
Than the coins in her pocket
She is way too pretty for prime time New York
She gets the business every time she takes a walk
Amid the shark-smile porno scenes
But they can't ever touch her, their disappearing queen
She is nowhere and everywhere
Nowhere and everywhere
Nowhere and everywhere at the same time
She's as shady as cheap sunglasses
But as perfect as this October Monday passes
To a draggin'-your-soul-around-town rhythm
Always in such a hurry, but never too fast
Playing chicken with delivery boys and tag with the subways
Searchin' alleys for proper company
She's jumpin' in and out of cracks
And she's got everything that you lack
And though she entered unnoticed
You will feel it when she leaves
She is nowhere and everywhere
Nowhere and everywhere
Nowhere and everywhere at the same time
We belong in gutters and glittering lobbies
We belong to a street lamp flickering out
We belong to absolutely nothing
Getting out of a taxi the other day
My heart fell out of my backpack and into a puddle
And so my chest was empty but it felt okay
I just fished out the pieces and walked away into
Nowhere and everywhere
Nowhere and everywhere
Nowhere and everywhere at the same time oh
We are nowhere and everywhere
You feel it close, but nothing's there
We are nowhere and everywhere at the same time
Nowhere and everywhere
Nowhere and everywhere
Nowhere and everywhere
