I Forgot What The Sky Looked Like

Why did I stop,

Writing that is,

Games of hide and seek

Coyest the dream

Getting past by

Society in cab

To there next check

On the sixth list

Ever increasing, wants,

With if's

 

I forgot what the sky looked like

Or a tree yet pressed thin

Building the tunnel

Which will one day collapse

 

Maybe if I just,

Cut myself up,

Into the tiniest of pieces

There would be some left for me

 

Lord knows I've given in

Selling myself,

To the the devils lawyer,

But it's impossible to breath

No divergent existence

Prayers for content;

As I settle
