Its because I put too much into my mouth
The ridiculous count of silly things
That to think of them all
Would make my head spin

Excuse me as I melt into myself
With a fall to the floor
As the law of gravity
Takes a saw to my legs

The smile that is plastered on my face
Is a mixture of glee and distaste
When I cast my fond presence
To the past
To that place

The cavities echo a dawn chorus of flaws
That bat the sergeant aside
Only to slay the warrior inside myself
In one fell swoop

All the truths feint the army of troops I prepped
Regret begets more fret for most
The petulant effect it has on us both
Is at the cusp of sanity’s pause for a minute

Because that is where the gold is at
The free choice transmutes the fool
Into a bolder man
For the woman knows well where its at

That is why my plate is empty
And my jaw tired from chewing
Perhaps its time we got together
So we can go about cooking
