A rocket in my pocket
the song I play in my head
until I see you again
Swaying to the rhythm of
the train, your sensible hips
are there on the platform
as you roll by and wave
without a chance
to stop and say hi/goodbye
I’ll be back to get you
just promise you’ll stay
one more day, till noon
or whenever I get there,
just please don’t forget me
or give up my name
