Racoon (Resurrection 4)
Aren't you tired of the way things seem?
Tired of believing
that this is how they really are?
Sick of the stars
shiny mocking bulletpoints
that show you where you are
reflected in the quarters at your feet
from when you hit the jackpot
lost your compass
and found your losing streak
Aren't you tired of being meek?
In the wake of all your winnings
Don't they light up rather dimly
While you're pining for your losses
and longing for something
that's really rather bleak?
And you always get distracted
when you stumble onto something shiny
not realizing
that it's distracted by you
as it tumbles to your feet.
