Perched on the edge of your world
My legs dangling over the side...

Oh my god, would you look at that!
The sky just emptied with snow...

I met him quite by chance you know
On a beautiful warm summer's eve...

The cheerful chirps are fewer now
Proud plumage plucked and bare...

Take your number and wait your turn
Have something to do, there's time to burn...

I can't write in colour here
But you'll know what I mean...

This dance we do is out of step
No harmony and no respect...

Glancing
Chancing...

Now here's a thing I can't work out
Its purpose dumbfounds me...

She'll utter polished pearls of wisdom
While golden spun lies fall from her ruby lips and...

When did life become so slow
Despite these years I've naught to show...

Laying foetal in the shadows
Defensive and victimised...
