I scare them all away

  I scare them all away Is it the way I look   or what I say   they’re going by the book   that’s what they said   eyes start to move   searching the exit   they’ll stay for dessert   then make their break   I scare them all away   back to their little caves   they bolt their doors and pray   for a return to boring   I get lonely   like everyone else   it’s more about disappointment   than anything else   that unquenched thirst   for more of the same   is something I’ve never   been able to explain   I stand at the center of the square peering into their faces   they’re too busy with trends   to really notice so I step on them   knock down their buildings   blow out the sun   as they curse the weather   it’s enough to   make a monster just want to   be by himself  

Doublage

one’s not enough you need more stuff someone to carry it home maybe support/reinforcement multiplication for what who needs more you want a double maybe a triple one’s not enough something could happen you could easily snap then be completely lost she senses something completing sentences so much for individuality, gone thinking she could use another pair of hands but maybe not another mouth

Metaphor Shortages

  Metaphor Shortages can’t wear those pants no more i don’t dance for anyone can’t drink more than soda no more chili dog runs don’t deal with Frank at all haven’t called cousins in ages they supported that fraud i cancelled the engagement one door opens another closes dream dies another’s born riding these waves like a leaf floating in a flash flood still think about you daily still read for full-on days ruminating possibilities with the impatience of age wanna be more compassionate gonna get out of debt be playing you the piano but haven’t learned it yet
