Bendie and Twistie
...I’m sorry
I know that it’s a little dark
And my words are too sharp
I’m sorry

Or get you thinking less

On imposition of regulations,
But supplications met deprecation
And castigations not reformation.
Such condescension sparked protestation

Coasting
...I pretend I'm alright
And put my best stance forward
Wear my brave face
Tryin to be smooth
Just tripped on my shoelace

have played it all my life and
now I've mastered it,
a talent to brag about.

Every book in the profusion on our shelves
Tells a story that invites us to engage
Draws us with wonderment to turn the page
But yet more, recounts some truths about ourselves
