Three Daze

Oh you can’t be nice forever.

Ain’t enough slack to cut.

That smile kinda hurts on the second day

When everyone’s had enough.

But you, you tough it out.

Close your nearly full ears.

Maybe you say you’re laughing

To explain those burning tears.

As shit piles up.

Six feet high.

You wonder if you really could

Kill and lie.

You could say they left.

Like your mind has too.

Do ya hafta snuff the captured

In the whole damn zoo?

Maybe not. Calm down.

You’re a visitor, you.
