eye of the glasses

who?

what?

I,

thats who.

who's asking anyway?

Was it that ratchet **

frahm the deli?

*** I got something to say to her, And I will say it

sometimes she puts my chicken on rye

on ciabatta.

And sometimes it's fine because...

sometimes I see the moon then soon I see the sun, sometimes I like to look out of the highest floor

and everything is so small and so peaceful:

no one can upset that tranquility,

the sheer exhaustion of life,

gives one a tough exterior, a shell.

If someone comes a knocking, before i've had my pie, it's all over,

but sometimes realizing you are but an ant...is refreshing

then you get back downstairs and someone spills their grande americano, no milk or sugar, because that's so  mainstream on your cashmere cardigan

then you realize

that throwing a punch is so very healthy

a punch straight in the retro glasses that they do not need.

pow, right in the kisser.

So you can tell the nashty from the deli

she might be next.

The man who spilled his drink is now on the ground, but it's ok he instgrammed the whole thing.
