Better Things To Do

I don’t need you I need my shoes
My toothpaste, pencils, jackets and spoons
What are you good for a hug and a smooch?
I definitely have better things to do
like light this match and clean this table and find that
boa constrictor that’s been missing since april
don’t worry I won’t think of you
unless i’m drowning in my fuel and caught the flu
and needed you to say, “bless you” to my “achoo”
You shock me with a laugh when I trip my laces break a glass
take your smile ingest it don’t look back
Hardly out of reach but I won’t try
Your hands too pita mine too rye


Ovens

This oven is full of feelings exposed
Whoever created these wholesome words knows
What pie tastes like to those who are hungry
What pie takes like to those who prefer cake(so sweet)
But this oven is still full
Even though you always watch TV when you eat pie
While somewhere inside deepsea children cry
I can sweep you in my seaweed bed and lie
Where playmobil sets make my coffee taste like paint
But I don’t say why

When the timer rings the oven is full

You left your heart in a tupperware at school. ​
