Lyrics

The sky
held back
the rain
like a sneeze
that never happened,
we sit
on the sidewalk
trying not
to huff the
gasoline fumes.

With fingers
laced together,
we count
the bricks
on the
run-down
building
across
the parking lot.

Be my
lady forever
and I promise
to try and stay
this clever
as long as I
possibly can.

I hold my breath
then bite
my tongue
and wait
for the next
shooting star.
