the day i found my ways
i caught myself
in a tangle
tightly twined
around
a forkful of
spaghetti from a can't
just pullin' the wool
over easy
under the radar
love, life, and my pursuits;
a hapless sock thread
ensnared by a tack
on the threshold
ensnared by a tack
on the threshold
unwinding, revealing
a novice habit trail
from door
to table, to chair, to bed
just livin'
but barely
breaking a sweat
smokin'
a bowl of dead ends
Is that all there is?
Peggy Lee, blinked
lookin' for
high bars
in low places
forcin' a smile,
though
her eyes
ordered a double
some things
are better left unsaid
though
her eyes
ordered a double
some things
are better left unsaid
but winked at?...hell yeah
I caught your act,
you charlatan
I say, strippin' off
my socks
I know your ways
You ought to play
out in the mud
in your good shoes
maybe, someday
Finally

For 100 Word Song
The song prompt was Patti Smith's "People Have The Power."
Love her and I have always felt a kinship with her lyrics
This is my somewhat personal, disconnected take on her classic.
I'm way over 100 words...
