Running

Running

into the future

Living

in the past

you

married the

music

man

 

Out on the streets

the

boulevard

of dreams

that weep

 

Tiny Dancers

in my head

long long

ago dead

 

Eyes that

can't see

Ears never

hear

hearts

have been

so insincere

 

promises

never kept

the tears

you've wept

looking on

looking down

said softly

I was wrong

 

there was

the funeral

Grief

on a popsicle

stick

 

Can't count

the days

until

they are over

 

Perhaps count

the headlights

on the

highway

 

Tiny dancers

with

bruised feet
