Nimble Frown
Have a nice night
You say
With a nimble frown
Living down for the moment
Down to my last irrefutable taste of a minute
Lacking stress
My somber smile reflects back at me
Through a glass half empty
Only yesterday it was nearly half full
Time will change the direction of the universe
With the thread of hope
Still swaying
With a boulder hanging from the knot
Clinging tight
Have a nice night
I will
Hope you do the same
All the while life plays its little game
With what seem to be such significant problems
No problem too big
No problem too small
You got problems
Don’t we all
Have a nice night
Just the same
While life goes on
Playing its little game
On and on
Till you feel the knot slip
Better get a grip
A thread of hope hangs
Weary from the weight below
Get your shit it’s time to go
(2002)
