lyrics

Akron

You are pressed into the pavement
searching for steel thumbprints
hidden under the bridge a bird
flattens itself against the sky
is wilder and whiter
look at the brown water flowing beneath
the road its smooth blankness
curving away towards fire
towards stone towards the making
that makes the city live
from year to year you take the long trip
towards what you don’t know
what you wish you could
even the words are stacking up
in my mouth the jokes have died on arrival
but give me another
chance or a child
like the one who turns and runs
legs already vanishing around the corner
at the end of the block a tree loosens itself
in the wind the wet driveways slicken with leaves
in the cold rain smell
one’s thoughts can suddenly shift
