Stark Fiction

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.
