I am sitting on a hot railway platform next to an amputee in shorts<\/p>\n
She is playing chess with a blind boy much scarred<\/p>\n
On her radio a song is playing<\/p>\n
I am dreaming
\ndreaming beaming dreaming
\nbeaming at the thought of you <\/i><\/p>\n
All the paths lead to the beach<\/p>\n
Some are sandier than others<\/p>\n
And have thin wooden fences<\/p>\n
Others are not fenced<\/p>\n
A girl is sitting in a silver bus shelter<\/p>\n
On the edge of the beach<\/p>\n
She is reading USA by John dos Passos<\/p>\n
The author is sitting at her feet<\/p>\n
Reading USA by John dos Passos<\/p>\n
They both ignore me as I pass<\/p>\n
The Family FIre Five<\/p>\n
Invite me to share a meal<\/p>\n
At their beachside caf\u00e9<\/p>\n
I accept and listen to their radio as I eat<\/p>\n
It is playing a song that I recognise<\/p>\n
I am dreaming
\ndreaming beaming dreaming
\nbeaming at the thought of you<\/i><\/p>\n
I give my golden fish to a screaming dog<\/p>\n
As I was requested to do<\/p>\n
By the girl with no legs<\/p>\n
Who led me into a shallow room<\/p>\n
On the very edge of the sea<\/p>\n
Where she shared my dreams<\/p>\n
And played chess with a blind boy much scarred<\/p>\n
