This is where we come out with a larger plan This is where we study for the nurse exam This is where we spend a part of every day Thinking in a language that they try to take away This is where the side lamp on the second floor Leads us to a winter afternoon Here is a branch where we sing out the call Millenium for all This is where we test out our replacement needs This is where we're knitting mitts for refugees This is where we medicate in bathroom stalls This is where we call home from a payphone down the hall This is where we work the circulation desk While counting out a haiku in our head Here is a branch where we sing out the call Millennium for all This is where we worry over breaking news This is where we read a hundred Nancy Drews This is where we're difficult and can't sit still This is where we come in from the fields like with a wind chill This is where we finally our sleep need loss Wake up knowing what we need to say Here is a branch where we sing out the call Millennium for all Here is a branch where we sing out the call Millennium for all Millennium for all
