that scooter stood for months
in front of his girlfriend's house
but it started in 1 go
now his daughter rides that thing
I had no idea
he smoked weed but didn't drink much
he seemed otherwise healthy
there was music and no dog came
spring is for everyone
a bird sings
the people kiss in the grass
I breathe in I wait
what's coming what's waiting
mirror mirror on the wall
I saw us across the street
in the windows of the city
we slowly approached us
we walked around there was no shade in the square
we ate ice cream at the fountain
we were who we could be
I just laughed something stupid
looked at you but you saw
I now know what you were looking for then
you also laughed at something else I thought
they knock down the trees
they understand the protest
they have rights for themselves
they have duties for the rest
they send they buy from they make an offer
they give names to the streets
and destiny to fate
who belongs to whom what belongs to what
not a tear remains, not a heartbeat goes unnoticed
from the bed you sleep in
to the edges of the city
the house from the street
and here you are just four years old
a glass in someone's hand
here with your parents on the beach
this is your school here you are skinny and in love
here you have dreams about someday here at Christmas
here with your husband
here it gets dark in your head
here you look away as if you don't believe it yourself anymore
here goes fast on this one too
you are no longer standing here
for the mother and child angels sing in unison
when the great organ sounds in halo of light
she pays his rent
again with that boy on the bus
again from the Riagg to the Detox
from the opportunity to the wall
spring is for everyone a bird sings
the people kiss in the grass
I breathe in I wait
what's coming what's waiting
spring for everyone
it's spring for everyone
