[hometext] => I can't remember the last time I willingly, wholeheartedly played I Declare War with someone to the end. Life gives you too much crap in the meantime. Here's to nothing to do with the time but pass it.
[bodytext] => Hey now, How long has it been Since I was kicking my brother’s ankle Under the table at dinner? Sitting in almost miniature wooden chairs Little tykes was but a blueprint Asking for adult intervention cuz he keep LOOKING AT ME Thrown a cup of water on the hopscotch board I just composed Way before we supposed skillet was a street invention I lived as a prisoner of mama’s private menu And I ate what she made cuz it was always good food And we had two baths at the passings of Mister Sweltering Sun U betcha, it was Powder on the neck Vaseline on the elbows and knees Pink oil moisturizer in my hair I had no idea that it was privilege not to hafta eat at McDonald’s I was just jealous of everyone else’s happy meal toys And I was employed full time to just Pass it idly And I went into Grandma’s Cedonia backyard every Sunday Digging for china Searching for mantises meditating And hunting succulent honeysuckles Nowhere to hide from to the sun But did we want to?
