The world would flip the script
With a twist no one saw coming
Twiddling our thumbs
And very very distantly humming
Down the street
Men committing adultery
Thighs and breasts for sale
Cheap: fancy poultry
High heels and bubble skirts:
Anonymity's best choice
Taste a little haute couture
Suddenly, you've lost your voice
Step softly through the snow
Innocence, it might break
As you ponder the consequence
Of your shadow falling in the way
Smooth, almost touching
Sparks flare between
They catch each other without words
What does this mean?
Rowing along, merrily
Life is but a dream
No time to pause or cry
Over fallen whey and cream
It is a matter of
Seasons coming and floating away
On the dandelion wind
At the end of the day
Today is tomorrow
And God has a knapsack
Filled with a million things
We all believe we lack
Shallow sunsets soothe souls
As great adventures unfold
What has made them drunk
Has made me bold
The elusive butterfly
That sits on your shoulder
When nobody's looking:
Happiness, gets harder when you're older
Life is tesselations
Fitting neatly in the scene
But with such crazy patterns
Sometimes making us scream
Mumble through madness
Navigating in the dark
Blind to common sense
Just trying to make a mark
