two tall glasses of sweet ice tea
undernieth the sweet gum tree
and the love we once nutured you and me
disintergrating violently
stick your tounge out
catch the peices as they drift down the air
i am too slow to catch them all
not to far gone to care
two slow summer hours
spent picking at the bones
figuring the interest
on delinquent loans
speaking in sad and mournful tones
trying to squeeze tears outta mute stones
wet your finger
place it towards the wind
feel disaster in the air
we are far too slow to out run it now
but not too far gone to care

Sometimes it is a good thing...and sometimes it costs me much more because I screw stuff up...at least I am learning something though, right?
