silence

streetcars screech and

how could he how could he

here a corner

left right left right

this transfer is expired

watch where you’re going

slept on the deck at robert’s place

falling on the

red green red green red green

for coffee

don’t watch her keep your eyes on the

sun is bright but

the woman sobs why is she

tut tut looks like rain

and turn

here a streetlight

just the bus the bus is two dollars

spare change spare change

yellow

oh a cloud and

do you know how to fucking drive

last night was crazy

sobbing like she lost her

schools of people around each bend

buses turn corners

for adults it’s three twenty five

she says one word and the world stops

the two of us, the rest all drops

in my arms she holds me tight

we lift, so slow, in sacred flight
