Sticky Feet

Star InactiveStar InactiveStar InactiveStar InactiveStar Inactive
 

Cruddy downward eyes

I arise with sticky feet

Brainwaves bind

Weak week this week

            *

What for why?

I served my time

Building these cities

Fist fighting life

            *

Master craftsman

Traitor to time

Left alone mine

Easing in their life

            *

I should sheet the day

Sleep away my bones

Proud steel rough hands

Tucked in at home

            *

“Under his breath”

Iron men and copper wires

Soon we’ll all be expired!

 (Not even a thanks)

            *

            *

            *

Computer heads…hmmp.

Soft or hard which would you choose. Don't let me down Quid, Quid. By the way wahine, your last piece was so full of reality, I still cant get over the depth of it. Deeper than the sea they sailed away on. You rock girl friend.

I have always been akin to strong, rough, calloused hands. Hands that tell a story... hands that are able to catch me if I fall. And thank you again I'm glad that you enjoyed it, I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to capture the emotions...

I have always been akin to strong, rough, calloused hands. Hands that tell a story... hands that are able to catch me if I fall. And thank you again I'm glad that you enjoyed it, I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to capture the emotions that at times are so tangible. Mission accomplished
