I know why the caged bird sings, and why our phone always rings, because of you. I know why the sea is blue, because it hasn't found anyone new. I need shelter from the storm. I wish it was warm. I know why the sky turns black, because it's never looked back. Why do you always sit on the porch, looking like a clockwork orange. Dedicated To Maya Angelou. 1928-2014 R.I.P.
