lyrics
San Pedro and Sunflower
Sun floats almost still
Above the throbbing of machinery
San Pedro and sunflower
Still weary of time
Urban rooster cranes his neck to crow
His plea is stark and chemical
Lovers quarrel through an open window
Rooster preens until he shines
Red bricks surrender to
The clinging vines
Neighbor’s dog strains at his chain and whines
a dirt lot scattershot with dandelions
they await with glacial patience
for all of this to fall
