some more words

In case your wondering by TZ

To live by the sea an occasional wander
inland yonder busline 5 towns thru southern, rosedale rochdale linden boulevard
Jamaica Avenue last stop

Q5 down Merrick,
further signs of way back when, this is the same bus I got on when
I walked out of the house on a saturday morning
and wouldn't walk that straight line
straight to the house of prayer
by myself

the people all around me
they don't know that's where I began
no color, just what I know
on the tv, a man with a hat on his head
he looks like a giant chess piece, people say I'm the same as him
but I'm not doing it right I'm not playing the game
way it was layed down by the mothers and fathers of women and men

so I'm now at this spread out mall
some are dressed up, some are not,
on the way back again, like a bicycle light
that won't shut off, I sit there
amongst others
trying to ride laying low peacefully
the bus stops at corner
some young guys see me in the window
my cover's blown
one stares at me like that time
back in briarwood
that room in the basement
with the cats and racoons
that looked at me thru the window sill
my glassy white lite bicycle stare
easy to spot from over there

just wondering what they see when they
see me here
riding the same way
thru the same path on the same day
sometimes back and forth

yet I now live by the sea so for now
this how it's got to be
