Submissions by MichaelPeggs

What you are about to do has already been done
6 days it took to create it and 1 more to set it in stone
A foundation for all that will, but a style all its own
We walk around in grey-flannel suits, mini-vans and white picket fences
Plans made plane by protracted performances, players on a stage set all the same
Dressed without distinction, mimes without words to impress
To express, divulge, fabricate and re-create
The emperors new clothes are not loud enough
Find yourself 2 sizes too big for the space you occupy and grow
Step into an idea that climbs...

When I grew up I wanted to be you
Not a carbon copy of who I was, but you
I took the A train past 14th because I couldn't C what was right in front of me
Everything and every option, each expecting me to stop, exit and transfer to the me I was supposed to be
See it's as simple as 123 or 456 but signals get crossed on early morning delays
So I sleep in, rise later, work less and visit with you every now and again
Once upon a time we were supposed to be, but ambitions and dreams fall prey to bi-weekly pay checks
Security instead of freedom, tinted windows in a drive...
