Lag

There is a touch of lag in this game of life.
One step forwards lands a day too

late

When it comes to pouring coffee

The cup has already moved. The burning sensation couldn’t

warn scorched hands.

And when decisions are final

 

 

 

Those memories have already been made

Just make sure the

floor you land

upon

Is the same one you

 

stumbled on

Blame it on the lag

And maybe

 

It won’t feel so

 

bad

 

All or Nothing

The all or nothing approach to life allows no compromise, you either win or lose.

But when those all’s are so small, when the nothing is your status quo

Lying down in the mud must feel so good. Looking up at the stars must hurt so much.

And all or nothing, well, dead is dead, win or lose.

That’s how I play.
