Hazy Acres

Can’t breathe 

Hyperventilating 

No brown bags 

Running low

Empty 

Repeating the same dance 

Wild games narrowing 

To this one 

Yet another escape 

Comes to the surface 

While words don’t align 

Not adding up to actions 

So you move 

And shake 

Screaming your words

Your identity 

In pieces 

You will have to find each

Putting it back together 

With new people 

Love is like a puzzle 

Same square

Always different colors 

Water washes it away 

Water moves around rocks 

Waters lifts ground 

Water 

Images rolling like a cinema 

Cheap seats 

Cheap play 

Cheap 

While so much comes in 

After the closing door 

You see yourself clearer 

Without the limitations 

Without the games

Keeping scores on top of your experience 

Fresh starts 

Fresh people 

Making it things playful 

Saving you from the odd feelings 

You know them 

Instantly
