the current reversed

the current reversed

 

 

the avenue figures in the dream

I am falling, no, flying

five stories into a river

as speedboats swerve to miss me

 

you are screaming "I love you's"

over the roar of the motors

and I am drowning in degrees of affection

the boats miss me and hit the bridge

 

between sanity and love

that apartment building looks so far away now

the windows boarded up

I was the last to fall, no, fly.
