My pockets are full,
an unusual occurrence,
fabric eats Earth and won’t relinquish.
Sun-dried cloth,
a rabbit from a pair of pants,
a conjured bunny will not leave.
Our days are magic,
each day nothing will appear
and nothing goes away.
Worry makes the lines show
‘round the block, far down the street,
so happy when we finally exit stages.
Ah, but love is a diet
that keeps us thinner,
up until the time it kills us.
Stakes are always rare,
these times of plenty plague us, baby,
I can’t give you anything but...
