lift the bench in the park
i stack it, on my library card
time becomes a boat
floating -into the night
love- shut in the drawer
waiting for the tide
waiting for the tide to wash it away
grass grows taller 'n brushes against my legs
i run,
a drop of rain
open the elevator door
i tape it on to my bedroom window
faith becomes a cloud
dancing - into the sky
love - shut in the drawer
waiting for the moon
waiting for the moon to melt it open
streets are wider 'n grow faster than cars and bikes,
i hide,
a drop of rain
