The sunset paints the sky

Behind jagged mountains

Every evening

And every evening

Just like the people of Ysleta

Just like the people of El Paso

Just like the people of Las Cruces

And just like the people of Juarez

I will see it

But the truth is, I guess I don't know these people. And I just don't want to see it anymore.

I have to get out of here.

Maybe if someone were listening in on my thoughts they would have expected a little more nostalgia or wistfulness, but it's just not there. I don't feel it. Really.
