DREAMS WALKING BY

 
When we walk by people
we’re walking by dreams.
 
Hopes push the wind into
trees: they shake, shake.
 
We’re fulfilled and broken
each one of us. We are ….
 
The years go by – as we
go by limos and hearses.
 
I want a job – a great wedding and
marriage and family and a long life.
 
Ask me at the right time and
I’ll tell you about my dreams.
 
Ask me at the wrong time and
you might see only my tears.
