Time for the Cameras
The view from my window
is of buildings and people
all with their hands up
everyone’s feeling like
De Niro as Travis
in Taxi Driver
you talkin’ to me
alright then
smile for the camera
I join in for a minute
on my way to get coffee
a six-foot coffee
John in the lobby can’t
high five me anymore
now just he bows with a
Will Smith laugh
Fresh Prince of Pennsylvania Ave
*The sidewalks are empty
*but the streets are mobbed
*everyone’s ready
*for the photo opp
*it’s time the cameras
*time for the cameras
*time for the cameras
*repeat
black faces white faces
uniforms
all ages all colors
perfect storm
Starbucks is giving
away stars today
don’t break our windows
we’ll pay to play
mask-wearing pride sharing
not just here
no justice no peace
is everywhere
sun rain and lightening
we’ve had it all today
broom handles cardboard
and red spray paint
*The sidewalks are empty
*but the streets are mobbed
*everyone’s ready
*for the photo opp
*it’s time the cameras
*time for the cameras
*time for the cameras
*repeat all 3

What if I Don’t Wanna (Be Your Little Secret)
Well hello there
we have many mutual friends
I don’t come here often
sure I’ll call you sometime
three months later
love when you come over
never laughed harder
never felt better
hear me out 4 x
what if I don’t wanna
be your little secret
what if I imagined
we might be a thing
I don’t need to wear
a sign on my back
but you’re making me think
I’m your little secret
five months later
you know you’re my girl
I’m just not ready
(ready for what?)
I’m not looking
for another shadow
I just want to share
a silly picture of us
you make it sound
like I’m proposing or
something so
serious
hear me out 4x
what if I don’t wanna
be your little secret
what if I imagined
we might be a thing
I don’t need to wear
a sign on my back
but you’re making me think
I’m your little secret
three months later
love when you come over
never laughed harder
never felt better
what if I don’t wanna
be your little secret
what if I imagined
we might be a thing
I don’t need to wear
a sign on my back
but you’re making me think
I’m your little secret
hear me out 4 x
what if I don’t wanna (be your little secret)
what if I don't wanna (be your little secret)

Sugar Road
You have a way of making me stay
even though I know I should go
I hate the sweetest parts of you
let’s pack up all our things and
go pretend it’ll work again on
Sugar Road
Sugar Road
Sugar Road
Sugar Road
we can sugarcoat
all we know
on Sugar Road
don’t worry about if we’ll make it or not
cause we both know where this will go
I’ll fake it anywhere with you
let’s gather all our guts and
give a shot to hey why not
Sugar Road
Sugar Road
Sugar Road
Sugar Road
we can sugarcoat
all we know
on Sugar Road
promise I won’t do this
if you promise you won’t do that
you said you wouldn’t do this
I said I wouldn’t do that
promise I promise too
sorry I’m sorry too
Let’s act like we mean everything we say
in this ten-act play called
Sugar Road
Sugar Road
Sugar Road
Sugar Road

The Conversation
You’re too old not to get it
I’m too smart not to let it
get to me
This is where
you ask what
I’m talking about
again
I should not have to say it
you should not have to ask
conversation fifteen hundred
conversation thirty million
nothing changes really
repeat
