Hurried Hoardies


glossy floorboards

tell no stories

watch the time

you hurried hoardies

 

clean your eyes 

and fix you ears

watch your feet

the time is here

 

crunching crinkled

leaves below

the starry eyes

make pavement glow

the words of men

they made her bow

cut down the herd

you broke your vow

 

she rules like queens

before a show

lay down the sword

you're free to go

 

but always watching

see can see

your horrid infidelity

turn her way

up to her bow!

her ship won't sink

she hopes you'll drown

 

scraps from erasers

trail your toes

you think you're lost

she always knows

who you are

and where you'll be

your hoarded infidelity
