I should be hopeful today.
I should be livin’
Fresh and awash in the spray,
Not harried and driven,
But there’s no mercy
In the roads in-between you and me --
The vastness of filth and concrete.
I’m dying for
A hand at my door,
A wave at my shore that never breaks --
Not for me.
I saw the sun cow the waves
With radiant pinions --
Beheld an ocean of rage,
Thirsty and brimmin’,
But there’s no mercy
In the channels between you and me.
