Socialization

"I'm an animal.  You're an animal too." Neko Case


Socialization

Compartmentalize

Prioritize

Never look them in the eyes

Hold it in

Never sin

Never smell

It's hard to tell

Where you end

And I begin

Wrapped up in a cotton cage

Catalogs and anti-age

Carbon copies

Crowded lobbies

Cold hard cash

Caffeine crash

Make the man

Take command

The boots

The suits

The ties

The lies

Get in it 

To win it

Get out when you die

Two Worlds

"Everybody's workin' for the weekend... Everybody's goin' off the deep end." Loverboy

------

The urgency of afternoon

Sabotage me of my time

Hurry 'fore the lights go down

My fleeting peace of mind

Everyone against the bar

Grackles on thin power lines

Sip it up but do not drown

The little light inside

You're dreaming of an ancient place

You've visited before

Lucid winds whip across

The windows and the doors

The lonely wolf howls a tune

Slows the beating of your heart

Frozen here between two worlds

A child of the dark
