The want is surprising…
I guess it’s a barely capable thing.. a step in bigger shoes .. the kind that fit your steps .. fit your foot so you don’t step out of bounds…
The turnover.. a balance of overages and incoming variance..
And then someone says it.. “and you’d dress her up in a checkered dress” .. yeah you would .. waiting for them to say it … waiting for that joust.. you are willing to make contact
So why not leave the door open.. maybe get a dog to walk.. a dog to help you eat a normal sandwich.. without the worry of consequence.. just a normal sandwich… maybe eat it off a checkered tablecloth ..maybe tear into that beef jerky.. tear into that puffed pastry.
No will ever know that you listened to the same song over and over again trying to fit, begging to fit. “The secrets only bend in direct sunlight”, you’ll say .. “and her lips, they only thin out when pressed”… and “the day needs to be seen”.
The day needs to be seen.
