First Street

we should make a promise you and I
for after all of this I am afraid
that all we have is repetition

we should follow the patterned crosswalks
we should watch the signs and their numbers
we should hide round corners as we go

together we should meet on first street
on different days to stay unknowing
in different cities to stay polite

together we should meet on first street
you will not see me
I will not see you

we should make a promise you and I
together we should meet on first street
and wave at all the places we are not

we should make a promise you and I
we should make things small and stranger
for after all of this I am afraid
that all we have is repetition
