Mud Pies

The dust has only just begun to fall.

Shake it up. Don't let it settle.
One small hiccup and gold turns to metal
A glitch of a fuck up and steam streams from the kettle
Do you need a cookie? Or maybe a medal?
"Don't look for proof that everything's okay"
"Don't be a goof, you'll be sorry one day"
"Don't act aloof, the earth is real- not just clay"
So ground yourself. In the earth you should play
You once made mud pies from it
You swam in its valleys
You sculpt castles from mere sand and water
Anything you say can affect someone's daughter
Stand up firmly in the clay and realize
that your eyes see what they want to
Don't try to finalize one decision
just when everyone thinks you're about to
Don't let anyone make an incision
just when the past was behind you
Don't let evaporate your vision
Just cause a friend is blinded blue
There's such thing as fusion and fission
But that don't mean you should wait your cue

The best cues are often those unscripted.
