dogfight

This time around, I want it far from a surprise

But you said a watched pot only boils once you close your eyes

Across from the mission

The house I'm missing

Cracks and dries

Read "Frog and Toad"

And "On the Road"

Now, what am I?

Tried to pet your dog

But he walked away and yawned

With your parents out of town

Can't agree when choosing songs

Split dividends on dorm room whims

And wrapped my shins

And he's out again breaking windows in

With his other friends

I'm in dogfights with the shower curtain

I've got bones to pick with parking cops

Stuck keeping up with dust collections

But I'm not as down as you

Sunscreen stained your shirt

Taylor Port left our heads hurt

Someone played "For What It's Worth"

And pained and mansplained all the dirt

The arm fat flies on trails we ride

Not made for bikes

Left high and dry, alone, behind

On Thursday nights

I'm in dogfights with the shower curtain

I've got bones to pick with parking cops

Stuck keeping up with dust collections

But I'm not as down as you
