Trying to make every smoke ring perfect
Not to trip over an impaired sidewalk
Bowels of maggots fest at your feet
Your toes curl in the sand
Destiny is but a symptom
The long hot winter awaits
You trip. Listening to The Band
Mother's womb is iced over
Your lungs burn with envy
Chopping the spinach with your teeth
The sink drips loud with fear
Cocking your head back with confidence
Hanging yourself with the Christmas wreath
Death awaits the moving
Cracks fill every hole
Time is but a symptom
Your toes curl in the sand
