10 - Goose

Your goose is cooked

Your spontaneous side has upped and died

Got burned alive

Still you persist

You’re better than this somnambulant soliloquist

But you’re smaller now

Though love surrounds

It’s a tall order now to turn things around

Not a moment too soon

On second thought

That’s an awful lot

So maybe it’s best to just take a rest

Because late at night someone else snuck in

And changed the shape of everything

This is not the town I grew up in

This is not the skin that I fit in

This is not the peace that I once knew

This is not a heart you can run to

This is not the best time to begin

This is not the life of the living

This is not a man to look up to

This is not your year, sure it just flew

You’re smaller now

You shrunk yourself down

It’s a tall order now to turn things around

Not a moment too soon
