   Five Seven Five

Damn! My head won’t stop
Thinkin’ ’bout five seven five
Will it ever stop?

Always planned sometimes they just
Find me all caught up

And Biding

Contemplating time…

   And Biding

Sitting by the heat
Rubbing my hands together
Flexing frozen feet

Pondering the time
And biding it as well I
Find moments sublime

Not feeling so bold
Twelve hundred miles and the fog
Be fun with a cold

But running gets hard to see
With eyelids frozen

Accumulate on the roads
Plowing’s too high priced

Contemplating significance…

Cannot help but mock
The great question of the day
To text, tweet, or talk?

Pernicious Fate

Contemplating the accumulation…

Contemplating experience…

They’ve not seen it for a while
First snow once again

Contemplating how can we forget…?
