Lyrics
The last truck from Oxnard rumbles down Wall Street,
a Tuesday bleeding into Wednesday's heat.
The cooler hums a low, electric psalm;
I wrap the baby's breath with a cold, wet palm.

[Bridge]
Maybe hope is just a weed that you don't pull,
a crack in the pavement that's suddenly full.
[Outro]
The sun is cracking the sky over the 10;
let something beautiful happen again.
