likes more than life
than mine than yours
than the dolphin's the fox's
the hummingbird's the redwood's
even more than the CEO's life
staggering turning collapsing
in 6:45 AM Hudson River light
there's something America
likes more than life
even if nothing remains
and nobody's left
to balance the books
and the numbers drift free
and dance upon the lonely breeze
as light as hummingbird wings
