Door knobs and hospital gowns
Shoelaces and disco balls
We’ve put our hopes in hopscotch and silver rings
Hardcover books and phones with cords
Tell orders and short order cooks
We catch colds like basketballs and Frisbees
Warm cold cuts and pale moons
Band-aids and tight-rope running
We keep our guard up for long nights and short days
Elephant and automobile trunks
Reversible white out and erasers
We people watch like going to the movies
Hoping the credits will run by soon.
We collect collections of collections
We are the sum of somebodies summation.
