The concrete broke today
it split across the middle
The devil sat at my post
espousing, silly riddles
The yard revealed no secrets
the grass allowed no sign
The trees housed the birds
that's just how, they're designed
The domicile I occupy
my abode from bitter storms
Pretends to offer protection
but forces me into, norms
The life I live, wandering alone
pretense to have a dream
Of things, I've never known
places, I've never been
