Chocolate ice cream
Before midnight
Hearsay is news
Lasagne by Aldi
Waking to the sound of
Running water and cars
A lover snoring
A computer dies every 20 seconds
I have brilliant friends
But everybody gets tired
I will employ one thousand
Canary birds to
Blow my wet hands dry
You don’t have to destroy a life
Just jerk off
And get back to business
In one second everything can change
A worm can turn into a lion
A tree can explode
A teardrop falls from a wire
A teapot melts
Banannas for everyone
I express myself
And sometimes it hurts
That doesn’t mean the world
Is there for the purpose
Of absorbing my droppings
The world is a teacher
We learn so much more
When we listen
We learn so much more
When we respect the teacher
When we love
Sometimes things are difficult
It doesn’t always rain
When you want it to
But rain is never wrong
Bad feelings can grow
Like a centipede
But love can grow too
L’amour.
It’s a choice
It’s easy
Love is hard
Love can be easy too
