The Great Big Whatever
You’re in the corner of my eyeYou’re a whimpering dog that isn’t mineAll arrogance without a single accomplishmentYou’re slapping me with your tailYou’re a down to the quick hangnailYou brag in whispers and you think that protects your reputation A shrug of the shoulders can pull the rug from beneath your feetNo one owes you […]

Swirls
Swirls and swirls and circlesWhirring fansSlurring wordsSlicking fur and curling hairFluffing the feathers of a bird Clarity, it’s crystalMissingThe whistlesThe crickets chirpThe hot sun hits your smoke signalsYou call and no one picks up Cicadas, cadence carriesCan weCall it a nightClose up all the windowsDon’t let the bed bugs bite Lines and lines and lightFighting […]
