The things we can't fixA Poem by William CoadI never wanted the mirrors reflection to shine like the rays of the sun.
I never wanted the tools of introspection to cut through my gaze just for fun.
No I just constructed a ten thousand foot tower made of match sticks and cheese dipped cauliflower.
His waste line reduced, his skin was made smoother. We gave him glasses- fixed And his brain under the hoover.
So what can we do to fix the things that aren't ever going to get fixed?
Lean down low- just give it a blow- and now we're playing pick up sticks.
These semblances of meaning are just imagination my Pizzian tower leaning and looking for justification.
I have no more right or wrong or in between. Just smell the flowers they're never going to be so mean.
I never wanted the mirror to look at me so hardly.
I never wanted the pool of glass just pleading with me.
I never meant for you to look up at me. “I'm so dumb” is what you said.
I never meant for you to look up to me. “I'm no good” is what you said.
I never meant for you to look down on me. “Your heart is so cold” is what you said.
I never meant to let you see me. “Your heart is cold” is what you said.
So what can we do to fix the things that aren't ever going to get fixed?
Lean down low- just give it a blow- That's probably the only quick fix.
She's ever so pretty, I love what you've done with those little glass eyes- like rays of the sun.
He's so handsome, but maybe too short. Oh well, he'll grow into it. We're waiting for a growth spurt.
That one's not too bright, shame or he'd be perfect. He's also a little too fat, if he were gay he'd be perfect.
These things are going to get ironed out in the second draft. But the thing with life, unlike with life, is it's just in the craft.
So now I'm just looking down from my moldy old tower of bread. One little thing will give way and it'll split open my head.
And all of these people I'm molding the ones we had to cut and to stitch will circle around my body wondering what's the fix.
So what can we do to fix the things that aren't ever going to get fixed?
Lean in tight- pull with all your might- it just might close up the cyst .
And thing word word thing and I cannot words chocolate fountain. And will some-- and can some--- just stop this breakdown?
And frogs hat chocolate tower and number bird tree cow- how--- my face-- two wines--- disgrace-- and @--$--## there
someone save him, if you dare. © 2014 William Coad |
