I've stood on this corner Breeze and wind A little gentle blow for the girls They smile and understand Swirling around the traffic Always courting couples Everytime the lights change In a different huddle Oh there they go again Wrestling time on Big Street More moisture than the rain More wrong feet than Fleet Street I always wanted the sea side Get a little air Keeping putting the transfer in They treat it like hot air My brother likes to spin Mother's very subtle Likes to travel well Publicity and trouble They always know her approach And sometimes ring a bell Usually sirens racing Some have called it hell Look at them trying again Shop doorways and the dark It makes you cringe to watch I'm heading for the park |

This is such an eclectic poem, and I'm not even claiming to really know what that word means, but I think it fits. |

Hope you dont mind the Oxford ED. I have more trouble understanding their words explaining it. Yes it is slightly true and it is done in fun, but do I borrow and mix. Everyon is the sum of experience from whatever source. Making a fool of yourself in public is a standard thing for youth because it is usually made certain that you can't do anything in private. The breeze was in fact the main part of the words - it was actually dealing with boredom, no-where to go, everyone has something I can't get. It stole from youth to say to youth I am pleased I dont have to go through that again. Dave eclectic | klektk | a. & n. L17.
