Boys in the bushes

Martha And The Muffins


We see the houses of the rich 
We see the famous orange bridge 
We see the many distant hills 
She picks tiny purple flowers 
Boys watch intently from a distance.

What a wonderful view! 
You can see everything!

Tourists are always looking up 
Never watching where they step 
Snapshots capturing the wrong things 
Missing the forest for the trees.

Boys in the bushes.

Down on the hillside 
Close to the green 
Flashes of heaven 
Sensed but not seen.

Watching the city turn 
We'll be gone in a day 
Acting like strangers
Losing our way.
