Street

pieces of old newspaper
float like paper boats
they slide along the rushing water
in the gutter
rainy days, rainy nights
rain falls down and covers the city

it falls from fabulous heights
covers the streets
with its sparkling skin
and over on jane street
they're shooting that movie again
they just can't seem to get it right

behind a warehouse
in a burned out building
a man is sleeping in a cardboard box
on a pile of salt
rainy days, rainy nights
rain falls down and covers the city
a man on a park bench
he sits in the pouring rain
