Sometimes her name was "Crazy."
And, "Tired,"
And "Hung-over."
Sometimes it was, "On a coffee break,"
And sometimes it was, "Totally in love with you,"
But mostly it was just "Caroline."
Back in the days when her favorite word was "Peace,"
And her favorite place was "Anywhere,"
She liked to wake up in the mornings when the sun did
Next to a boy who played acoustic guitars,
But
Those things change.
Now,
She liked to wake up in the mornings to
Coffee
And Car Talk.
She read books like The Da Vinci Code,
And was familiar with the phrase "Let's do lunch."
But some days
When the air of her
Sensible skirt
And sensible heels
Wore off on Manhattan�s scarred sidewalks,
She still liked to don Huarache sandals
And pretend her name was �In the mood to sing,�
And �Looking forward to going nowhere,�
And �Barefoot,�
And sometimes it was �Tripping,�
But mostly, it was just �Caroline.�
