Late in the afternoon, driving down 116
Taking the back roads to the mall
Not too many people out there at this time
The workers still chained to their command
The students shuffling between classes
Cloudy spring afternoon, a hint of rain
The young voices on the radio call my name
Show me their wares and give me ideas

It's like this every Wednesday
A reading, a lesson, a listen and a view
A relaxing afternoon after a day's work
Before the evening ritual begins
Just me and the sounds around me
Giving me ideas about my story
Just me and the sounds around me
Showing me where to go
