When I wake up From the cave of night Time will pick up Where I left off I'll be seven again Splash through the sprinkler Chase cootie-girls for a kiss Smash rain puddles in big black boots Race stomach-first into the backyard pool Drive passenger-side buckled fast past golden arches In the rain The restaurant closed The rusty old sprinkler The girls forty years bolder The pool filled with concrete To forget how I slipped... All out of time But I'm still sleepy and Cold and can't wake up Do you think it'll rain?
