Line line line it up I'm barely standing
Like oceans to the sea
Like tired people in tired places
Like this whole income thing and every other thing
And then the trailer parts of trailer trucks all lined up at the Pepsi Distribution Center waiting for the truck parts to come and take them places
Drive up windows for fast food and banks and coffee
Tshirt shops on boardwalks on beaches
All that wood out in the sun all summer long
Hurricane shutters, shatter-proof glass, childproof bottle caps
This over time and that over time and you, too, over time
Think about the last time you took a good look at the sky and what you were feeling right beforehand
Or the last time you saw someone driving with their turn signal on and didn't know it
What train tracks do
What chainlink fences do
Any job well-done
And then time alone
Quiet and alone
