Next to the stone wall
Hexagons sidewalks under my feet
I'm looking through trees opposite the street
At children playing, couples talking, someone feeding sparrows
Benches are full with people so oblivious
To all the thoughts flying at me in my head
Now I'm alone my head's at peace
Like everyone all around me
The setting sun at Riverside Park
Strips down racing minds

I turn off the street into the park
Sunlight bouncing off the river
Is gold patterns
On the asphalt
I'm running steadily, thoughts fade away
On a blank path for a blank mind
With sounds of the
New York City streets
Backlighting the
Summer leaves

My world is breathing in and staring at the passing trees
Consumed by running
Don't know what anyone's thinking anymore
And I'm thankful that I'm barely thinking anymore
I'm out here cause I wanna be out here
Not because there was nothing else
Or no one else, responding to read messages
And I couldn't take it alone in my room
I needed to be out here where my mind fades
And the city's green keeps me sane

Running down a promenade, Hudson River at my side
The dusk is striped with lavender, the sun's half gone now
I watch the orange light slip under New Jersey
With all the strangers from my city
Seeing the same river, the same buildings, the same history
As Paul Simon, as Lou Reed
Playing Interpol or The Strokes
Where I grew up listening to Is This It
The bright lights turn on, and the
GW twinkles

It's so different from winter, or worse, March
When the world is black and white with a taunting blue sky
But now it's in color, summer twilight leaves fading into
Lights from the buildings are the stars in the skyline
Sodium vapor lamps
Twinkle along the paths
And dance along the Hudson
As I turn my back to Riverside
Heading to my apartment but I'm already
Walking through my home
