They call it daylight saving
I call it daylight robbery
and can you tell me
who is saving it
and for what?

it'll probably pop up on the stock exchange
buy shares in sunlight
get your sums right and
you could be on an earner.
1965
and
little squirts asking,
'penny for the guy'

these days everyone dresses like a guy
and a penny's not any use
anymore.

I cannot take it,
the trillion triggers.

The impatient 'di-dum'
of posey fingers.
The conceited 'snip-snap'
of makeup-mirrors.
The piercing 'peep-peep'
of jeering fellows.
The stuck-up 'click-clack'
of sour stilettos.

Can the world please stop?
Just for a moment?

I want to be heard
But
I don't want to speak
And
I want to be remembered
But
I don't want to be different
And
I know I'm free
But
Sometimes I feel trapped
And
My head's not in the clouds
But
I stare at the sun
And
I don't want kids
But
I love toddlers
And
I want to be a teacher
But
I don't want to go to college

I am
A person
I am
Not a doll
I am
Afraid to fall
I am
Not a bird
I am
Only so strong
I am
Kind of smart
I am
A beating heart
I am
Living here
I am
Used to fear
I am
Not weak
I am

The one flower
     Outside my window
Has turned to dust.

Lovers fell like leaves
Slowly— and then suddenly
just to drift apart.
