do they sell emotions
in teapots by the street
i'll take the blue and white one
checkered like a dorothy dress-

could i buy emotions
to pour them out in porcelain
what's the cost? a penny apiece
for the teapots by the street-

drink them up, for an hour
maybe i'd feel love
recipt, madam? yes please
i'll take my penny-bought tea-

i would buy emotions
in teapots by the street
here you are, love- take it please
one less teapot by the street

Dear Walmart Girl,

I apologize for not having the guts
To say  hello to you
Like the hollow bamboo men
Who grow on you passing by each day,
Acting like you don't deserve the time of day
Ashamed of shopping at a Walmart.

But there I was,
Staring at you
Trying to find the words
To tell you are the most beautiful woman I've even seen
Through the sea of these bamboo people.
Your eyes of green shot through my stormy mind
And found a temporary paradise.
A place where
Even though a tiara isnt apart of the dress code for Walmart,
I would treat you like a princess.
And when my heart fades away,
The diamonds from my heart
Will escape from the coal
Called my ex's that never went to Walmart.

I apologize for staring at my black shoelaces,
I guess I was tied to the fact
That a women like you didnt exist.
But all I said was thank you
As I turned to the exit,
Recipt in one hand
And defeat in the other.
I couldn't come up with a pick up line
Or drop a complement.
All of the worlds
Were lost in the woods
Of the transaction.

— The End —
