Lyrics
So Many Streets
There are so many streets
Many streets
Streets with names
Streets with numbers
Squared in blocks
Crossing at right angles
Row after row
Occasionally crossed by another street
At an angle
Creating a tangle
Each covered by pavement
Hard by sidewalks covered by blue stone
Surmounted by stoops and steps
Surrounded by houses of brick and brown stone
With only stray blades of green grass
Striving between cracks
Under the heavily soled feet of those passing
From car to curb
From iron underground train
To wheeled bus
To sidewalk
To stoop
Up stairs
Indoors
Inside
The sun bakes down
The sun sets on hot streets
The moon shines if you look up
Once or twice a month
And it amazes
Then we forget it appeared
We’re looking down at so many streets
So many streets
So many streets
