Got to get so small to fall inside.
Got to get so tiny that there’s no more need to hide.
Fall, but never feel it
Crawl through where the others seal it.
Watch the people passing through the hall.
So small.
It’s a path of pebbles on the floor.
Trace their frowning faces till they lead you to that so familiar door
Hello Mother, Father
Sink filled with soapy water
Bubbles flash with passing scenes
But I don’t know what nothing means, just
Try to stand up straight against the wall.
So small
Take away my paper and the pen.
You know I want to but I’ve promised I won’t fill that space again!
Just one forgotten story
Two eyes lost in the haze of glory
Three white clouds roam the skies
Mice in the maze of someone’s lies
Rest their weary heads against the wall
So small.
Dark clouds fly through the sky at night
That’s the way they do it
Imperceptible to human sight
Black on black a poison kite.
No one to realize they’re there
It’s just a prickly feeling in the air.
Glance through your window to the sky
It’s just an ordinary night
Your shoulders shudder but you don’t know why
Draw your blinds and lock the door
Feet squeaking on your wooden floor
Just rub your head and go to bed that’s all
So small
