Eyelids so heavy
The sound of snoring
Echos through a house
Back against a mattress
Muscles aching
For a chance to rest
Soon the switch
Will turn off
They say, all good things must end
as I clasp my hands and mourn
as I clasp my hands and weep
loneliness is my only companion

For you may never understand
what you mean to me
How happy is the amused, blank bewilderment!
Blank bewilderment.
Does the blank bewilderment make you shiver?
does it?

The constitutional controversy is not private!
the constitutional controversy is exceptionally private.
Never forget the unexclusive and private constitutional controversy.

Acute annoyance is an obvious effect.
the obvious effect is an acute annoyance.
An acute annoyance is large. an acute annoyance is small-minded,
an acute annoyance is puny, however.

I saw the woolly posture of my generation destroyed,
How I mourned the apparent awkwardness.
An apparent awkwardness is muzzy. an apparent awkwardness is confused,
an apparent awkwardness is a flocculent, however.

I saw the homophobic reaction of my generation destroyed,
How I mourned the bitter backlash.
Does the bitter backlash make you shiver?
does it?
"Crazy, absurd, nothing as it seems"
That's the advertisement for Wonderland
"Wonderland is where the sea meets the mountain
And the cakes melt like ice cream"
Why in the world has Wonderland come to my town?
"You can be happy in Wonderland, why don't you come and visit?"
When Wonderland comes I know to be happy
For when Wonderland comes it comes only to me
"In Wonderland you can be wherever you want to be
Except for home, you can never be home when you're in Wonderland"
Now I know why Wonderland came here
It didn't
My mind made up Wonderland
I don't know what day it is anymore
My dreams have never been wilder
I miss how things were before
When the world wasn't an outsider
Blossom
Frailest, fragrant
Flourishing, thriving, wilting
Ever so pink
Flower
Suzanne couldn't stop thinking about the fire
It was just so golden and hot
But she could never forget the desire

That morning, Suzanne saw the site was dire
She had to calm herself with a thought
Suzanne couldn't stop thinking about the fire

Later, Suzanne couldn't help but admire
The sight of a burned pan and ***
But she could never forget the desire

Pete said, the fire was caused by a wire
Said her mind had become too distraught
Suzanne couldn't stop thinking about the fire

Suzanne took action like a ssquire
The fire was like a angry riot
But she could never forget the desire

Suzanne took a deep dive like the lire
Her mind turned into a bot
Suzanne couldn't stop thinking about the fire
But she could never forget the desire
