cute brown dog, dead bird

i need to pay more attention
i need to learn to dodge bullets
i need to figure out how to say no
i need to stop getting myself into these messes
i need to stop caring about why
we all have our reasons

it's so easy to make friends with animals
not like people

sleep catches up with me
blindsides me
i have dreams about losing my mojo

why does rain smell like metal sometimes?
