The other night I went with you
Down the road to the factory
Inside, fuzzy and all heated
A lulling occurred and I began nodding
Dreaming I was at the laundromat
Listening to the machines,
Smelling the detergeant
It comforted me
I thought I’d been saved for a second
In that very moment in time
There were no slamming doors
The sirens had stopped
The lights had gone out
I didn’t feel like this second
Would be my very last
I focused real hard for a second
And took a big deep breath
Promising myself I would never forget
Reeling and reeling
Incense from forbidden places filling me
Tears came to my eyes
I knew this would never happen again
A fixed moment in time
But it was then I saw
In a sea of ugliness
A glimmer of hope
and its name was love
And I cherished it
