Wash down every street
As they meet you on each corner
They live on every street
Watch for daily braveries
To hang around each corner
Finger sudden legacies
Each year leaves its unresolving fantasies
Thick with ghosts, the wind whips round in circuitries
Do they intrude upon your private reveries

Hang around each street
Put away the draft of all your eulogies
Clear the way for all your private memories
They meet you on each street

Carrying words as strangers exchange pleasantries
They meet you on each street

Mark the month and all its anniversaries

As they clean up every corner

As they meet you on each corner
Notice newfound courtesies
Make the time for all your possibilities
