Certain Restrictions Apply
Even on a good day
Those three words
Pack way too much punch
I’m gonna start a new business:
I am gonna make labels
we can hang on our collars
as we glide in and out of each and every day;
as we march to tunes
dancin’ in our heads;
as we march
down every street,
drive down every dirt road…
My labels will have a special power.
They will shine brightly
polished reflections in
darkest of nights
Folks will laugh at me and call me a fool
a one woman wild western show
selling tags like some crazy
medicine man pitching a tent
on the city limit’s mulched and mowed lawn
no big brand names or come late/come early trends
just little white boxes with no writing or scribbling
only the emblematic hue
of the wearer
a badge
that only fits one size fits all
glittery points at each and every pole
How much truer we will all be
when we hold hands and not grenades
Hands will start extending
No more indexing
Or palm reading
Before long
hands will hold hands
touching
every corner
every street
every town
all this hand holding will make our planet sway
back and forth
a kind of
come over/come over
cradling dreams in a celestial crib
restrictions need not apply
