I found you sleeping with price tags
like tea bags
little men inside the barcodes
Dragging you to the forest
I plant you by your shoes
Digging your heel into the Earth
to feel its heartbeat
I told you this story once before
The little men are trying to build a cage around you
But I won't let you be
no Gulliver's Travels
I send them scurrying like ants
to Noah's Ark
They set sail for Wall Street
Only one sprout comes from
your veins
And waterfalls have hope for you yet
