What are you writing?

Chased your losses but your losses grew.
Hate your boss but your boss is you.
Played it dumb when you kind of knew.

3/14/15

the sun will set
but that's whatever
the moon may rise
and light the heavens
the sea can swell
and flood the town
the sleeping damned
will surely drown
but you in grace
have been passed over
you're half alive
and halfway sober.

Woman

You don't get
a minute
once the curtain's drawn
all the world's a stage
all the lights are on
you get this little moment
then the moment's gone

You pause
applause
the workday's done
you want a break
from a setting sun
