On July 25th 2017, during what we could call the “black squares series”, Ezra posted this short poem on his Instagram:
GOING OUT FOR THE WEEKEND
i will return for you my jewel
but while i’m out
don’t try to loosen those ropes
you know it’s my pleasure
to take care of you
hour by hour
and now bye by...
$200. Up front
Coat in the closet
I've got my knife in the drawer, oh darling
Wine in the evening
I'll never hurt anymore
I'm going out
I'm going out for the weekend, baby
You know I'm going out
You know I'm gone for the weekend
Take your injection
Don't want you getting excited, C.C
Bread by the window
Don't try and get to the door
Wait for me honey
I left you books you can read the Bible
White as a pony
I like your face in the sheets
But I'm going out
I'm going out for the weekend, oh my God
And then I'm going out
I'm out for the weekend
And something tells me you'll be fine right here
And something tells me I'll be changed
But don't you try to talk me down
Sweet Clementina
I'm going to talk to the rain a while
Back in the saddle
I drew my line in the sand
Now I'm going out for the weekend, baby
You know I'm going out
You know I'm out for the weekend, man
Yes, and thank you to everybody listening at home
