Waking Stream of consciousness On a sleeping Street of dream Thoughts Like scattered leaves Slowed in midfall Into the streams Of fast Running rivers Of choice and chance And time stops here And it seems as if time Stops here on the delta While they dance While they dance I love the child Who steers this riverboat But lately he's crazy For the deep And the river seems dreamlike In the daytime And someone keeps thinking In my sleep Of fast Running rivers Of choice and chance And time stops here And it seems as if time Stops here on the delta While they dance While they dance . . .
