We walked across the bridge
Over the mud from the creeks
Leading to downtown and the bay
Giving gracious curtsy
Holding up from the fray
From outside windows and panes
Plucking time from a bottle
I wonder about you and think
Could you see me and want to
Break down hopelessness and fear
And be one with the winds
But I know you're a house cat
And wouldn't want to be near
The forces of nature and god
And *** and what's pure
Go back to the cage and purr
A lifeless being still unsure
But I know we can swim
Through these rain drenched streets
And find happiness together
But first in these sheets.
