Basement smells like lemon wax and time
Diner sign unspools its copper line
Altos hum in dusty card catalog
Neon bleeds through microfiche smog
Paper breathes in tube light
Choir voice cuts the sodium night
Flicker hums where indexes sleep
Altos rise from glowing deep
Neon archive glow and dust
Hymns unravel filaments rust
Altos hum in sodium rain
Neon archive shine again
Microfilm melts in burger grease light
Hymnal pages fold in neon night
Choir robes hang on catalog rail
Flicker sings through broken tenor tale
Paper breathes in tube light
Choir voice cuts the sodium night
Flicker hums where indexes sleep
Altos rise from glowing deep
Neon archive glow and dust
Hymns unravel filaments rust
Altos hum in sodium rain
Neon archive shine again
Librarian stamps in flicker glow
Waitress pours where altos go
Decimal codes in pie crust steam
Hymn numbers float in coffee cream
Organ stops and tubes align
Paper burns in sodium line
Choir voice breaks the catalog hush
Neon bleeds in amber blush
Altos hold the final note
Archive glows in wiring throat
Neon archive glow and dust
Hymns unravel filaments rust
Altos hum in sodium rain
Neon archive shine again
Basement quiet sign goes dark
Choir hums the final spark
Microfiche holds the neon prayer
Altos breathe in copper air
Neon archive glow and dust
Hymns unravel filaments rust
Altos hum in sodium rain
Neon archive shine again
Neon archive shine again
Tubes cool down in paper dark
Altos fade in sodium spark
