May this day bring<\/p>\n
a cold drink<\/p>\n
some laughter<\/p>\n
beside the ceviche truck<\/p>\n
by the mercado<\/p>\n
far away<\/p>\n
from the bitching wife.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
May this day bring<\/p>\n
a poem<\/p>\n
not even a good one.<\/p>\n
A paycheck<\/p>\n
not even a large one.<\/p>\n
A song<\/p>\n
somewhere<\/p>\n
in my heart.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
May this day bring<\/p>\n
peace,<\/p>\n
give me just a little piece<\/p>\n
that’s all I ask<\/p>\n
and like<\/p>\n
change jingling in a homeless guy’s hand<\/p>\n
I’ll dance ‘n smile<\/p>\n
like a thief<\/p>\n
stealing fire from a god,<\/p>\n
like a night lasting all day long.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Amen, hallelujah and all that jazz.<\/p>\n
