Count red cars
or the billion stars

maybe count each
silver charm on
a silver chain


Watch the night fall
quietly onto town

sleep a dreamy sleep
dream a sleepy dream


Chase the wind to
wherever
chase it in your
own worn shoes


Run away from
the waves you've
known since
childhood

that's
all you've ever
known


Blow away the
fluff from the
silent dandelions
blooming on
the roadside to
your home

Wait for the
rain to drop
on roofs,
hear it
patter against
your window


Pass the time
see the rusty
trains speeding
into rusty blurs

into nowhere


Do nothing on
the benches in
the station


Catch someone's
hat blown away
by the wind
maybe keep it
as your own

who knows,
it could all
be yours.



To you,
Girl by The Sea
