Wearing a snapback on the highway,
cherry-stained lips from a sno-cone.
I fill in the blank ‘Zip code hooray’.
I have been waiting to leave all day.
It’s finally time and my mind is blown,
wearing a snapback on the highway.
Cannot work this hard and not play,
carrying a bag and a palm stone.
I fill in the blank ‘Zip code hooray.’
Oh the thrill of being a runaway,
leading that group or at it alone.
Wearing a snapback on the highway.
Zero knowledge of where to stay,
I’m chasing a cabin and cobblestone.
I fill in the blank ‘Zip code hooray.’
Four tires on fire the world drifts away
as nature swallows my entire phone.
Wearing a snapback on the highway,
I fill in the blank ‘Zip code hooray.’

Deception
Written: by Miracle Man
2/26/2021
Without question, being truthful, is always better,
for once we’ve told a falsehood we can’t unfetter.
Some can’t repeat a story without detail changing,
endeavoring to keep our interest, fact rearranging.
Liars generally aren’t sorry for a lie they’ve wrought,
most times they’re just remorseful for getting caught.
Better to confess your ignorance and let the chips fly,
than by digging a deeper hole and perpetuating a lie.
“When you stretch the truth,
watch out for the snapback.”

A momentary tingle in feelings
A handful of fond memories
A sudden gust of strong wind
The inevitable snapback
The lapse of a single moment
A fleeting glimpse of a future
A balled up strand of hair
The inescapable passage of time
