A Fast Twenty

and a Crisp High Five

By BrenPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

i got a twenty dollar smile

on a two dollar day

i've got nothing to tell you

but i have plenty to say

twenty bucks

and a crisp hi-five

i wasn't going anywhere

but i was headed your way

anytime but now

anywhere but today

twenty bucks

and a crisp hi-five

i wasn't going anywhere

my destination was not set

and now i'm here

but before i wasn't yet

twenty bucks

and a crisp hi-five

my maps were still on

some sort of an index page

read up on real recent

they says it's the rage

twenty bucks

and a crisp hi-five

but i'm still not there

i'm not here as well

yet in the conundrum

i delve and i dwell

twenty bucks

and a crisp hi-five

it's a walk and a stroll

the script and the role

the sum and the whole

the heart and the soul

twenty bucks

and a crisp hi-five

and

I'M STILL NOT HERE!
