I like you
I want to keep you around
A fat lot of good it will do me
if you are lying on the ground
People don’t bounce
They break
So falling for you
would be a mistake
I like you
I want to keep you around
but not on the ground

I am whacky amazing
I truly truly am
I like the way I laugh
When something pops into my head
“Oh funny…hot damn!”
I am getting on in years
and what is so sad
my daughter looked at me
and said don’t buy those glasses
they make you look like a grandma
Ummm honey I am

Is that so bad?

Can I buy an hour and a coffee of your time
You can tell me about your life
And I can tell you about mine
Like how feeling is alone and even though
it is a feeling
there is no one around that wants to take the time
to sit and just
listen in the sun and buy a coffee of your time

I am having a hard time personing
I want to pop you in the nose
You are stepping on me from 100 yards
and even that is too close
I can feel you squishing and dripping on my toes

I want to say it is nothing personal
but that would be a lie
Especially when you are nowhere near me
and that is too close
I want to jab you in the eye

I just want to meditate on what would happen if
you just disappeared
Right now things are just too much for me
And I can’t stand it when you or any boddies are near

So I am going to just lie down here on the couch
And if you don’t like it
shut up
everyone is entitled to be a grouch
