River

Very very very fast
So slow
The singing of the grasshopper
Rising
A grasshopper can jump high
In the fields
You can lay your back and listen to them
As I sit here, I know that a plane as fallen, and people have died and i wonder, couldn't a grasshopper have jumped to the ocean and save them all, and i know that, that is silly, to wait for a dream or a miracle.
There are no miracles
People have died
People will die
I am here
I'll lay down in the fields
And listen to the grasshoppers
