The Street Lights
turn on the street lights
give this road some meaningful route
give this wayward vehicle some direction
come on,
tell it how to steer
just keep it close and keep it near
we live in these ever changing times
we live under a sky,
which hangs by a thread
turn the street lights back on
and make our maps real
James Garratt – February 2008
