Glow Without Permit

About this track
Slow train crawling through the grime Long enough to rethink time Paper cup and tired face Polite distance, shared space City smells like burnt café And things people never say Then she’s there — by the door Body present — nothing more Standard jacket, weather-proof Ready for rain or inner truth Looks like every ad would choose Safe enough for market views But her focus isn’t here No demand and no career Sideways gaze — system free Running private energy No request for being seen No audition for the screen No performance, no campaign No applause to entertain Glow — don’t ask why Glow — just pass by She’s glowing — let her glow No badge, no show She’s glowing — steady light Out of sight No approval line to stand in No more forms to hand in She’s glowing — let her glow City tries to file the bright Into folders marked “polite” But she runs at constant heat Like level three beneath the street Not a flare and not a claim Just unplugged from the game I suspect a choice was made Expectation gently waived No witness needed No stamp required Self-issued clearance Internally wired Adult mode — quietly armed Calm is seriously under-charmed Glow — don’t ask why Glow — just pass by She’s glowing — platform bright One stop light She’s glowing — steps outside Own internal guide Train moves — effect remains Warmer air in crowded trains She’s glowing — let her glow Platform slightly more awake I forget the notes I take Tomorrow I might try it too Or at least wash what I use Full Story: https://tinyurl.com/mvw2u2pn
