You watch me, with that charming Cheshire smile Corners crinkling The dimpled pleasure of intelligent company Holding my breath Hearing the richness of your baritoned laughter I am surprised with the lax Mannerism of your movement How the hinges no longer creak Echoing the stillness Of your once prone psyche Like magic Some fantasy Of child like wonder I am consumed Consumed by the elegant freedom Of your words As if you had never fallen so far into your self Lost your down the rabbit hole Playing poker with a madman No you have seen Madness And come back whole An aged man Monsters both vanquished and not Lurking Inside a placid brown How daintily you conduct your self A bear Civilized Not a hair out of place Not a twitch Not a grumble Or complaint As if I was porcelain Something bound to break You handle me Like a crumble cake This old school tender This utmost gentlemanly grace This strangeness I now have to face No turmoil No storm for me to brace I fear I am the one out of place

Contemplating a freak-out.
You watch me, with that charming Cheshire smile Corners crinkling The dimpled pleasure of intelligent company Holding my breath Hearing the richness of your baritoned laughter I am surprised with the lax Mannerism of your movement How the hinges no longer creak Echoing the stillness Of your once prone psyche Like magic Some fantasy Of child like wonder I am consumed Consumed by the elegant freedom Of your words As if you had never fallen so far into your self Lost your down the rabbit hole Playing poker with a madman No you have seen Madness And come back whole An aged man Monsters both vanquished and not Lurking Inside a placid brown How daintily you conduct your self A bear Civilized Not a hair out of place Not a twitch Not a grumble Or complaint As if I was porcelain Something bound to break You handle me Like a crumble cake This old school tender This utmost gentlemanly grace This strangeness I now have to face No turmoil No storm for me to brace I fear I am the one out of place
