They circle each other in their cages
These sweet things in their rages
Simmering just beneath the outer edges
Voices drowning out my carefully prepared topics
As I force it deep down to shake your hand
Look in your eye, smile while baring just a hint of teeth
I know you don’t care about my latest obsession
But I can’t shut up no matter how obvious your eye glazes
Yes, the weather is whatever it is today
How but them Cowboys?
I don’t understand these rules you’ve all imposed
This monstrous small talk that burns my skin
My nervous laugh, my twitching bunny nose
Odd that my face should be bitchy resting when my mind
Simply never rests
