If I could again

I would walk at seventeen

Alone downtown

To read the same home street signs

And understand this time

Beyond roads and maps

The relevance in words’ intersections

Names in Dutch or Anishnaabemwin

Crossing above

Waste no more time

Waiting for a light to shine

Waste no more time

Waiting for the light

Sit the corner

Like we always did

Ask the older kids

For cigarettes

With the SHARP skins

And our crust punk friends

Morning glory packet

Acid trips

And now I know

In clear light my own worse failings

Where here too

In a still new place

I have and do break

Where I stare out paralyzed all day at rain

Just waiting

And writing is a referendum on me

But shouldn’t I be different now?

Having after that

Self-destructed slowly my twenties away

Until you came and so life did

But I won’t

Not now

For everyone

And you

With eyes closed

Waste time

While

Victory approaches us

Slowly too but less slow

I will see it come

I will help it

I hope I will

Now I see

Three fires in the river back home

Where I have only and never belonged

My whole life

Now I see

Under all three bridges here

Only water

And there is so much I do not know

There is so much I do not know

Now I see

Basements were sanctuaries still

And it was only and more than a song

If we all sing

If we all now see

Under all three bridges here

Only water

That there is only one way that it flows

Waste no more time

Waiting for the light to shine

Waste no more time
