Originally Blue

after all the ducks

By David ParraPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

After all the ducks are scared of your breads

Make a little cent for what's flying in our heads

blank look...

a post-war pockmarked sheen

wall up face my space with dream

top five for everything thing we see

Don't fret it's just a post hoc lean

Debts paid...

to those who keep us in the dark

just look

They always had us from the start

So we end our lives plundering goodbyes

what's sense when their dollar's on the rise

Cold drip. Stiffen up my lip.

Oh shit... my world's never been legit.
