escher poetry — [O] :: 5
my boytime goal
my lifetime role
help the flowers smile
careers adviser
said not me
i’ze too flighty
said there’d be
good jobs for me
building mighty roads
chorus
so here i am
a cat man
on my day off
i want to know
where roads might go
my boss said no
he said i’d be
too flappity
“better a digger driver”
(chorus)
so tell me
when d’ya see
butterflies build roads
power blocked me
from being my be
couldn’t suss my me
chorus
so here i am
a cat man
every day is off
