poison but the sugars sweet

black and white baseball shirt
a few holes in it
clean shaved face
minty taste
bracelet of beads
three cups of coffee
full tank of gas
red sharpe in my left pocket
black one in the right
today i just might
watch the day turn into night
wont let you out of my sight
last nice day of the year
just a feeling
got out of work early
no plans today?
what do you say
we cancel all our goings-on
and like kids we could play
good music playing
waving to children i pass
stopped by the bookstore
flipped through a few titles
caught a flirt from behind the coffee stand
sorry, seat's taken
and the position is already filled
acted nice and smooth
until the coffee spilled
old pair of jeans
they wear their stains well
split ankle seams
another story to tell
took the long way for kicks
kept you waiting because i can
i'm not the same as i used to be
trying to be a better man
every king needs a queen
and you make me smile in my dreams
we can play it slow
or whatever that means
