I saw old women waiting at the bus stop, with the rain coming down. And I saw people circling like buzzards to the tune of the traffic below. I know. I know. Let the wheels turn slowly. I know. I know. Let the lights go down. Teachers with brandy in their coffee. Younger cousins getting excited about a movie. I know. I know. Let the lights go down right now. I know. I know. Let the parents go out for a night on the town. Taking turns making phone calls to old relatives. Stuttering into the phone. I know. I know. Let the words find their own way out. I know. I know. Let the lights go down, let the lights go down. On your own now, leave again. Find a home and learn to lower your hands.
