why do we keep on thinking of a big world?

when we never try to be successful

carrying weights on our shoulders

staring at the ground but never ahead,

we can see the shadows creeping by

lying to the cops

laughing at the corner

getting into fights

like a child

holes and rabbits

fantasies in our ears

with broke bank accounts

tears come fast

sizzlig down our faces

white pupil eyes

while we keep our hands on hot stoves

snow footprints

fire-breathing dragons

we all run away
