there's a poem here somewhere

there's a poem here somewhere
in this room
in the air
snaking its way through
the soul music
the cigarette smoke

there's a poem around here somewhere
about her
it's gonna put back that piece she took
I can feel it trying to hide
like something lost
that wants to be found
but wants to play a little game with you first

there's a poem somewhere around here
this Sunday afternoon the blue sky wide-open
like a wound
I'll write and I'll write
I won't find it
