No way Jose
Coffee stains on the cup where your mouth rested
While your tongue tread brown water
Curtains and cushions and that grinning cow hiding in the bookshelf
Wait to be boxed away
Back to trying on new people like new clothes to see if they fit
But I realize their list is longer than mine, much longer
Everybody wants a sense of humor, I see the humor in that
But that don’t count on their scoring system.
The short sellers think they are gonna make a killing
But I am not going down, unless, it is for going down.
