"When bell peppers shrink" he said!
When frozen fish flip like hamburgers he said again.  

In his face  she threw
The heaviest head of cabbage. The king of fresh cabbage.  

He left with a pruned up eye and the warning to make it home by five.

She gave away a chance from heaven.  
**** a man and keep him humming
Was there a way to make him jealous
His mama wished he didn't love her.  
Only when their tear drops simmer.  
Did she know he had no lover.
Play these games until he's desperate.
Let him run and chase you to the door.
I only wish there was an angel.  
To tell me how I can prevail.
Let me know if life's a big joke
I can give up and take it all slow
Have you seen the age of wisdom
Tell them all it is a kingdom
Let boys play pool
Where the gals take home a prince.
I made a living picking up your garbage.  
And now I'm living like a pond **** frog
Wishing the moon will turn me handosome.
All I know is loneliness the bad sin.  
I can't fight your brand new lover
All I do is talk about ****.
Give live and I'll wake up sober
Pure my soul inside the broken glass
Give me all a leaf can signal
When it falls into a road block
Promise me love won't blow away.
How can ground come nearer
Tell me that I'm just a house away.

All the world
Like pop corn
Kernels
Bounced
Unable to
Escape the buttery
Lake of obesity.

The old Murray island White House
Still coughs in her salt water grave.
Her ships are gone.
Her old wooden barnacles
Have no place in this day and age.
My mind grows tranquil and
Like a shore bird
I sill want the same old herring
Who danced like sailors all day.  
On top of the smooth green waters
They fell in love with this place.  
They stayed like salmon
Returning to their graves.  
So few are left now
Only the stubborn ones
Who never grow up
To leave their bay.

Queen-  my years in the scattered pebbles.  Each weigh of my feet and hands get closer to the sand.  
So I will drown where was he laid.  
I see no more alive
I won't survive my life.  
So let me drift with this sea.

I have to see you two naked...

****!

It's all the same

If I was blind.  You would
Just say God Dam you!  

Then throw me in the dumpster.  

Well some one worst then you two
Found my Asian logo
And now I can safely say
They want to pray your boy friends
Gay away.  

Ya,
But even I can't see god
You guessed it
I'm in church  twenty four seven
Three sixty five
Wishing the pastor
Quit farting in his microphone.  
I'm always to close because
The sound man says he can't
Hear a rat
Munch a page out of Genisis
Ya it's the same.  

Either place I end up
I always get used.
I get pushed
And when that happens
I ALWAYS QUIT *******
WORKING.

Sounds like someone I know.  
Peace out!

When I was young
The tv promised us
We would see
What we always wanted
And so my cousin
Kept me awake
To see the first white flake
Hit the ground like
Goose feathers gliding through the sky.  
My mother lit a smoke
And said why do want it to snow.  
And Jared softly whispered  
In her ear like a delicate
Crumb of frost.

" grandma watched us
Out side her window"
And now I get
To watch her
Play in the snow
