Blossoms

(Sometimes, in the summer
In the middle of the week
Like, Wednesday
I like to go for long walks alone
Around my neighborhood
See what everyone’s up to
Just take it in
You know)
I watch the kids at the water park
Down the boulevard
Life ain’t that hard
I watch the gardens that my neighbors keep
Changing with the seasons
They have freedom
I hear the jingle of the ice cream truck
Wanting to share gifts
Like a wet kiss
I hear the birds sing on the summer air
Rising off the pavement
Gliding silently
Do you ever think about it x2
Think about the way that you see
Do you ever think about it
Do you ever stop and think about it
Come on and stop with me
Do you ever think about it x2
Think about the way that you see
Do you ever think about it
Do you ever stop and think about it
Come on and stop with me
I smell the blossoms on the blowing breeze
As they bloom about me
I’m resounding
I smell the sticky tar between the cracks
Crawling across the sidewalk
Hot as fire
I feel the gravel go into my soles
As it makes them tougher
My legs buffer
I feel the sunlight bleach my drying hair
As it leads me nowhere
I will go there
Do you ever think about it x2
Think about the way that you see
Do you ever think about it
Do you ever stop and think about it
Come on and stop with me
Do you ever think about it x2
Think about the way that you see
Do you ever think about it
Do you ever stop and think about it
Come on and stop with me
