Walking a Concrete Mile

Walking a concrete mile

Walking a concrete mile
With wheels turning fast nearby
But not as fast as the images
That blur at the edge of my eye

The sound of a silent meditation
The smell of a cold cuts meal
The jingle jangle of small paper
That makes a man want to steal

What was that she was saying
Where did all the time go
How the hell did we get all the way here
So often it's hard just to know

Pounding the pavement
Picking up the speed
Just a bit louder
Just what we need
Let it go, let it bleed
Just what we need
Just what we need

Typing a new same direction
Dictating thoughts to the air
Capturing sentence and structure
Put it all down, put it there

Read a book, sing a song, take a number
Get in line, you're the next one soon
Hands on a watch turning backwards
Reversing the tides of the moon

Walk with me, let's breathe the same air
In silence, in sync, in motion
Close enough to know better or best
Take it away, take it all in

Striding the sidewalk
The distance recedes
Just a bit further
Just what we need
Let it go, where it will go
Just what we need
Just what we need
