The green man
Sheds light on my safety
I look at him balefuly and walk through Bleary daytime headlights

Taking the leap together
We don't hold hands, but hopes
And cast hooked wishes into the paths of cars
Catching what we can

Shouts of petty promises
Rain from window panes
I pull in the folds of my jacket from their
Goodnight kisses

Left facing worries
Scratched on metal punchlines
Are no more
Like blinks facing a light long gone out

I don't find what I'm looking for
Or something close to it
But I'm hungry so
I think I'll let the search live
