Bagworm
Safe in your self-contained trash purse
Spirit of mistletoe hangman
Parasite clinging to vital flaw
Whirl in your world on high
Shoulder the weeks washing by
Permanent bagworm
Stave it off
Mall cop
Spinning your wheels in a small job
King of the beasts in the pet shop
Jingling keys as you waddle by
Switching a flashlight on
Imagining it's a gun
Coconut chai cop
All that I want in my life
And if the cricket should announce
in the smallest little voice
that the winter won't come this year
If the rabbit claps her hands
and you die before you wake
would it really make a difference in the life that you perceive?
Bagworm
You're squeezing the life out of you
I wouldn't doubt that it's a long, slow burn
Ouroboros bites off more than it can chew
Trapped in eternity
Challenging entropy
Proverbial bagworm
Underdog bagworm
Intrepid bagworm
Stuck in permanent stage two
I can't wait to be you
A bagworm too

Thomas of Carol Cleveland Sings graciously allowed me to use the first verse from his song "Blink At Surprise" in the song "Target." Fine frenetic bedroom pop, the nicest Geoff you'll ever meet. OK Glass
