Annoying Walk
Annoying Walk
Annoying things are loose socks
sinking slowly in your shoes
feeling a small stone under your toes
people with jaundiced views
The obvious absence of reason
despite copper fastened truths
Pleasant wee people that smile inanely,
that irritating vitality of youth
Fractured graphite in pencils
pens that leak unchecked
Frozen butter on a winters morn
people who say “context”
Parties and weddings feasts,
speeches and flat caps
Dressing for special occasions
all that other crap
People say I'm miserable,
say I should lighten up
Look to some imaginary bright side
the other meaningless stuff
Can't they understand pessimism
is not simply a negative view
It's a window into the real world,
and secrets revealed to a few
