Mood Swings
It is though a dark curtain
has been drawn across my mind
filtering out the will to live
This heavy fog seems to soak
through my bones
like an unwanted guest
has been drawn across my mind
filtering out the will to live
This heavy fog seems to soak
through my bones
like an unwanted guest

The great work ethic.
Frosted flakes
In glass.

Honest, Guys! It Was An Accident!
After we found Dad
shot in a near vacant lot,
he reached up to touch my hand.
And after he died,
young Cody Maguire walked up
with his grandfather's shotgun.

The traut.
He uses
Fings in his farm
To catch
The fish
With out water
The man with water balloons.

Moo
No boundaries
Vaguely distracted
Wandering
like a lost cow
nearing a cliff
