Snail Caravan

Across the bridge
I can never forget
So many journeys relived
These train tracks
Seem so permanent
But I know they will wash away
Wash away like teenage tears
I don't bleed the same way now
Though the cuts are much deeper
The cracks in the sidewalk give away age
My own youth is skin deep
Though I have much more to learn
Desire like an overdue bill
Never goes away
Just handled differently
As my heart changes ownership
So I walk the same places
Everything else changes
