looking for you looking for you through smoke worn windows of white and yellow taxis faceless riders lost insiders swerve by in swift contempt through streaking drops of rain falling from peering rooftops finding pools upon streets dancing jewels upon my feet in strangers eyes and homeless lies in traffic lights counting time through stands of trees brushed and torn by reddened leaves flowers bloom at last for you a strummers tune echoes up from beneath the hollow sidewalk up and down through busy crowds passing hushed and hurried sounds one or twice I heard a voice calling me to make a choice tiny dogs pull leash and chains owners eyes stare blank insane watery crests the lake assumes splashing walls and barkers calls I never knew how far I'd fall looking for you
