All the smartest people

Recently my neighbor spotted me casing my own house, I said I only really like to go in when I go out, you ok dude? Yea, you ok? yea, good, (Yea? Yea. Good. Alright), I know every black crow in the city by its first name, and its surname, and its bird call, and its birthday, Look, I'mmmm cursed, ran down Main like a man on fire from a church, mangiest scalp in the state, angriest eyes in the world, son pipes up "Tell me old man how is that you could even know that? It's not even a thing that scientists knows how to measure", Gramps like "Sonny I been all over this motherfucking road map, I can tell you science ain't the only player in the network, Ya'll shoulda seen the boy face, Nothing like a smug young punk realizing what his counterpoint ain't, all the smartest people that I know seem to teeter in a paranoid state, You can know it all and never know you haven't actually departed point A, Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, you saying there's a B?, no, I'm saying you won't ever need to limit the edition when you're free, woah, so... what do you do when you get to Z? Bro... Look, there is not a chance, I am not officially a ghost, invisible and slamming all the doors, a paranormal scrambling of phones, look, there is not a day, an ember isn't cupped in his hands, it's slowly reaching up into the sky, it's fluctuating under my command, look, I don't use shortcuts, I don't use pace cars, I cut through a graveyard, just to cut through another graveyard, just to cut through another graveyard, "He's no longer on the radar"
