Waiting for Green

three chinese women on bikes
 at the traffic lights
 waiting for green
 a guy with the cutest jacket you ever did see
 leans toward me all conspiracy
 he says
 they're showing photographs of a child from the blast
 and whose it was was not made known
 fingers thumbs and toes
 sensory overload
 all rebounds like
 god I loved you
 don't you know me
 oh the horror he says
 as the lights remain red
 I used to ride the cutest bike you never did see
 freedom he says
 freedom
 in winter speeding carelessly
 escaping with bruises
 it's passed and gone except that I'm left
 fingers thumbs and toes
 sensory overload
 all rebounds like
 god I loved you
 don't you know me
 then he shows me his leg
 it was broken
 such a long time ago
 oh it was so long ago
 they said can you feel the pain
 he says can you see
 I say we only see what we want to feel
 we all have our own pain to deal with
 fingers thumbs and toes
 sensory overload
 all rebounds like
 god
 I loved you
 don't
 you know me
 my two friends
 they said don't be dismayed at him
 he doesn't understand women
