Streets & Souls

the streets, the souls
at intersections they meet

the wheels, the feet
rolling round, coming down
never touching ground

the souls, the soles
touched heel to toe
touched the ground
never going round

the wheels, the machines
have no angel wings
of course
they’re only steel & rubber

the wheels, the souls
spirits never touch ground
break for pedestrians
on sidewalks, on foot

the moon, the sun
spins around the earth
of course it’s round
never touching ground

the heavens, the stars
fall onto the ground
and the sun rises

the shadows, the phantoms
melting into sidewalks
colliding in intersections
melting the chalk marks

the streets, the streets
the mean streets
the crazy streets
the streets of gold

the spirits, the angels
flying above the ground
never touching ground
without intersecting

the streets, the souls

of course they’re round
they’re spiritual beings
globes of spinning light

the wings, the immortals
never touch the ground

The advent of humanity is natural. Our perceptions and conceptions are natural.The advent of cars, arising from these perceptions and conceptions, is natural. And finally angels are natural. I think it's only natural that you should perceive angels in car wheels.
