Friday bank card yours got stuck
I loaned you a phone quartersaid "Good luck"
Where are you now?

Me and glasses Saturday slump
You and your shoppingI looked up
Our eyes metmine are green
You d had a peroxide thing
Call nowlook me up

Sunday walkWeaver s Park
I was on the lakeside
Where the playgrounds meet
In bare feet
You said"Mighty cold today"
You never see what I think
You didn t like your daytime job
I was born to travel

You were a cameraI dropped my keys
I m on the northboundyou were asleep
I said"Are you holding?"
"You wanna ride the silent sky?"
I wrote a story on the fly
You in the tabletop
I said"I ve had enough of the city."

I held a bag of apples
You at the last table
I had had a soy dog
Cafe streetsideTuesday bloom
You wanna be on fireI said I hung the moon

Wednesday grocerycorner of Vine
You were in the checkout line
I dropped my frozen dinnersyou helped pick them up

Thursday cab rushour block
You with broken accentmy heart stopped
You laughedI worry

Chancechancechancechance
Swarming like a dozen crushing blows
All those glancesmidtime dances
Chance

I never looked it up
You hit the sidewalk talking
Said"I d read the ads"
Do you?
Where are you? Will you read this? Can I see?
This is surely moving faster than I can think

A minute shya passing eye
I know I saw you there
Will you read this? Can I see? What did I see?
Chancechancechancechance
Swimming like a dozen crushing blows
All those midtime dances
Chance

Guysthis is very tedious... stop!
