Mariachis stood still
as I slept in my mind
the subway was crowded
as we crowds blew by
Over the bridge
we go one more time
nearer to work
back into line.
The sun is rising
I can almost see,
if it weren’t for that window frame
between you and me.
I close my eyes and
the water rises
my motion picture surmounts
I feel everything shaking
maybe we’re all going to drown
Please won’t you move
take your thoughts
out of space.
Give me my morning back
out of my way
I want the east river
to swim a summer day
nothing matters
no reason to say
“Hey! The sun is rising!â€
Don’t worry everyone knows
they’re all enchanted
with how the Earth goes.
That’s how my movie ends
no matter that things are a mess
we’re just floating through winter
like ice cubes in a glass.
