Watching the Paint Dry
Green and gold,
and a splash of red..
Took me hours to complete
and I can't take it with me
when I leave.
Two women,
I am close to
and I find myself
all alone.
They both
have a bone
to pick
and I'm bad at
saying I'm sorry.
'Today' is a new day,
and 'today' is the only response
to 'what's up', or 'what's new.'
Today is all that is new,
remember 'nothing new
under the sun'.
You can wait for miles
for that call
you're never going to get,
I changed my bank account
but it doesn't mean I've changed.
My car payment's
not due because I have
two feet and a heart beat,
let alone my bike.
Let's see,
maybe a spot of tea
and some breakie.
I know, a shrimp concoction!
There isn't any 'flying high'
with out some kind of 'crash'
back down to earth.
Time doesn't wait,
you wait while you
watch the paint dry.
