Cheetos on the mattress
Satellite shish kabob
Will this wound ever heal?
There’s nothing behind the camera
Distant engines in the night
Scorpion pinball flippers
Administering the tax code
Red Velvet Revolution
I can play the part of the clown
But there are times…
Pay attention to the price
Of coffee
Holding is not choking
Choking is not breathing
Holding is the truth
Choking is out
Is getting it out
Another day of waiting In line
And solving the worlds problems
It’s an easy mistake to make
It’s a fatal mistake to make
It’s not a salad
It’s not a sandwich
It’s more a soup
It’s a meal that takes time
It’s not easy
A coming together
It’s a synthasyzer
A sound
It’s an ear
Voices
Instruments
Tools
Birds on television
Flashlights under water
Charged sexually infused beverages
Water from a giant penis
Taking a risk
A good time is under your nose
It’s not a finger
Iit could be a color
Sometimes you have to fight yourself
Love the little things
A Christmas tree in a bar
Free popcorn
Love is everywhere
It’s your job
Love job
