These Moments
All of the things we do and say All the places we choose to play If working or not, stand or fall All these moments define us all

We all know deep in our heart Some will stay and some depart Either one you might wish well Conversely, tell either go to hell
Beneath the Skin
Beneath the Skin Espresso confusing, pronounced expresso Reflects our hurry through over-busy lives Pillar to post, back again, we ferociously go Worker bees, consumers return to our hives Professed beliefs belie our daily intolerance Which is usually much less than skin deep Yet we all move to the same diurnal dance Wake up in the […]
