Sample Sized Life

Little square life with a toothpick flag Whose ambition was this toe tag Voices from the fountain can’t tell me And the river holds no key Wisdom brings an audience of fools Broken genius and a yoke of rules Whose life is running from the dark A run-on life with exclamation mark This banshee from the debris Yells my name like it knows me The tender footed feeling every stone The tender hearted feeling all alone Van Gogh’s ear in a jar on the shelf Says I need a hobby like cutting myself I want to cut my shadow free And let it run back into the night But, this banshee from the debris Yells my name, like it knows me
