Yellow circus left the stakes a broken ropes world's useless mug

The ties that bind, ha ha

I can be bad poet. Street poet. Shit poet. Kind poet too

Subway, Almost 4AM. Halloween night

Had enough to drink to make my own party
Em
All my fellow writers in half costume, half asleep

Half silly, gone to seed

I don't mark my time with dates, holidays, faded wisdom, locked karma holders
Em D
Convenient, I am made by my times

I am a creation of now. Shaken with the cracks and crevices

I'm not giving up easy

I will not fold. I don't have much

But what I have is gold

I saw your face...

I sing in platinum. I dress in brass

I eat in zinc

Let it pass

Compare a toast. I like that. I understand courage

I still roll with the shout of a character I was married to today

I try to see outside myself

I understand the eyes. Excuse all the highs. Sorry, I am sorry

Ha ha

I like you, love you, every coast of you.

Like, the sky, the sea, the ocean, the sun, the moon.

You've lost your shoe

A sun makes shadows

All over your face
Em D C
As you sit
