Allow me a window, by Meta Town




The time will come
to put me away
with or without my senses in tact

It will hurt you
More than it will hurt me
It's just inevitable, my dearest

But whenever that time comes
Promise to keep my chin hairless
my nails clean, my hair neat and short

And allow me a room with a window

The greens outside will calm me
Whether I realize it or not
A nuthatch, a Jay, a Mourning Dove
A tree, a bush, some honey suckle
A spider, a wasp, a fly
Just the wind moving the leaves
or the rain coming down

Please allow me
A room with a window
When the time comes
To put me away


SGMKJ!
