Pitty pitty pitty pat
Ran the kitty kitty kitty cat
Down the stairs in seconds flat
Why?
Because
And that is that
Pitty pitty pitty pat
Ran the kitty kitty kitty cat
Down the stairs in seconds flat
Why?
Because
And that is that
I always told myself when I escaped Texas, it would be different, but …

They will come flooding in like starlings
it must seem tragic, or terrifying, or melancholy
and the only remedy is hate and fear
You wake out of habit
A tonic of bad dreams and habitual guilt and melancholy
Because what is a poem without it
Believe me you will sleep again
Do not over think this
It doesn’t have to be perfect
Only true
B is for Big Banana Business Behemoth
There’s no business
like a Bigly Braggadocious Banana Business
It’s YUGE
It’s Smart
It’s gold plated
One of a kind
Deal
From inside
Looking out
Reaching through the bars to feel the grass
To see the sun
The wind blowing through the trees
So the world is spinning
The west wind is singing me to sleep
Dreaming
I’m awake
I’m awake
I’m awake
I should be watching the clock
The clock with hands
I never understood what it meant
To me it always meant wait
Until
It meant too late
It always meant should have
Until
It meant could have
I don’t have clock hands
I have shadows
And the sleeping cat
And the wind through the trees
And the dream
A is for Autocratic Apple
Whose name you might recall
A thin skinned leader
Who came to power
On the promise
Of building a great Wall
Lying here, feeling so high
As the clouds go drifting by
I dream my dreams and let them fly
Sending my prayers in flight like the dove
Where the clouds race so high above
Far from me and the strife below
Where we struggle as friend and foe
Far from this journey, where I fear to go
They say,
“Alone we are born, and alone we die”
And from this journey we cannot flee or hide
But we are not alone it seems
So this is why I dream my dreams
Sending prayers both night and day
I pray for wisdom to show me the way
And now with new dreams to soar and fly
I find myself here again, watching the sky
As the clouds go racing by
