urban connections

only have
a few minutes
to write this

that's all
the time
my job allows

up and down
these same
few streets

every day

only have
a few moments
to think this thru

i'm not
being kind
from what it sounds

round and round
these same
old places

every day

i'd tell of
my troubles
but you haven't heard me

for so long

i'd ask for
your patience
but i haven't found mine

for so long

wait a minute
darlin'
there's another call
on the line

(bind)
