sitting at my redwood desk
coffee rings around my desk...
rings around...rings around...
ring around the rosy
a pocket full of posies...

with the smog and the flith and the beauty of the city skyline outside the window
I can feel it in my toes.
smell the aroma of morning
floating through the air
so delicate,
one sharp exhale and it never existed
oh sweet metaphors...
this morning comes with a robin
in a maple tree
right outside the front door
knowing nothing of what could come,
but ignorance is bliss.
Whats the next cliche on the menu today?...
that smile that creeped across your face
had my name on it didn't it?
I could read it a mile away...
miles away...miles away...
I wish I were miles away
the rough, tough, prove you're more than you are...
wind blowing through my hair
making the knots I'll never take out
because they remind me of freedom...
devil may care throw it out the window who needs connections when you've got freedom...
freedom...freedom...
freedom of the press and of speech and of thought,
oh but once you open your mouth
that's it
a down and dirty definite that you can't escape...
there will always be
the prying eyes of people
waiting to tear you apart
because you're sure of yourself
that's a curse
you might as well burn every word you'll write
because you'll always be what they want you to be
resisitence?
the white sheep who wants to be black,
bah bah black sheep have you any wool?
have you any wool?...

Chelsea,

I'm glad I'm not alone
in the way my mind wanders.

I'd travel with your thoughts
anytime.
