Tippy toe further with hesitation
Peering over the razored ledge
Shards of glass on a jagged edge

Throw a stone at the barren wall
Echoed screams to answer the call
Phony outstretched grins to mask weary hearts
Motion sickness from too many false starts

I’m surely a fool for sticking around
This jellied foundation has run aground
With loosened reigns, life’s run amok
It’s raining blows, no time to duck

Stripped down to bare bones, left exposed
Yes versus no when you proposed
A simple answer was inconclusive
Barely newsworthy, yet it’s exclusive

Like sitting ducks waiting to be hunted
Or a midget’s growth which has been stunted
It’s over before it started-
Like the sea we should be parted.

Sitting Ducks

On the tumbling breath of trepidation
Tippy toe further with hesitation
Peering over the razored ledge
Shards of glass on a jagged edge

Throw a stone at the barren wall
Echoed screams to answer the call
Phony outstretched grins to mask weary hearts
Motion sickness from too many false starts

I’m surely a fool for sticking around
This jellied foundation has run aground
With loosened reigns, life’s run amok
It’s raining blows, no time to duck

Stripped down to bare bones, left exposed
Yes versus no when you proposed
A simple answer was inconclusive
Barely newsworthy, yet it’s exclusive

Like sitting ducks waiting to be hunted
Or a midget’s growth which has been stunted
It’s over before it started-
Like the sea we should be parted.
