on today.

i dream i dream
of a better time a better place
where the girls will come over
and maybe even the boys
and we'll talk about the politics of sex
we'll talk about the politics of religion
i dream i dream
of a time where i have more friends like me
a solid secure group
and i can take pictures just like rik
and hang them in public places
so other girls like me can think like this
i dream i dream
for a time of no bombing
a time of no self doubt
a time of smoothies and bike rides
and warm summer swims in a lake
i dream i dream
of listening to regina specktor
and all it makes me think of
and that i won't be so lonely
in another time another place.
