The Competition
THE COMPETITION
You and I
We shake hands out there
Somewhere
Where there is no sound
We each head back to our corners
Drink our water
And Balefully glare
A cigarette smoked
I tasted it upon my lips
The smoke curled, I complained,
It disappeared
You better wake up get out of bed
Take out the trash and feed the cat
I better hurry up and fix my face
And slop the hogs and win the race
We will meet again.
We shall both win tonight
I’ll curl my body next to yours
Before your snores
We will meet again.
There is no end.
We both shall win
We both shall place
In this never ending race
You and I
We shake hands out there
Somewhere
Where there is no sound
We each head back to our corners
Drink our water
And Balefully glare
A cigarette smoked
I tasted it upon my lips
The smoke curled, I complained,
It disappeared
You better wake up get out of bed
Take out the trash and feed the cat
I better hurry up and fix my face
And slop the hogs and win the race
We will meet again.
We shall both win tonight
I’ll curl my body next to yours
Before your snores
We will meet again.
There is no end.
We both shall win
We both shall place
In this never ending race
