Off Street

You own the moment mortgage free
now that the land is so possessed.
Store the car; rewild the park.

You own the moment mortgage free.
Riding in the backseat of a white Jeep,
we thread the day’s closing remarks

with gold. You own the moment
mortgage free. Your smile’s
up for renewal. Remember the bees.

That the land could become

so possessed is the gold
thread to the day’s closing
remarks. Remember the bees.

The land is so possessed with us
riding in the backseat of a white Jeep.
Your smile’s up for renewal.

We store the car, rewild the park, stop
riding in the backseat of white Jeeps
when your smile’s up for renewal.

We stole the car to rewild the park
with gold thread as another day
closes on our renewed smiles.
