Tom Marshall “Writer’s Block Contest” Entry (I actually missed the deadline, but I tried, I tried…)
Finally dreaming forgetting the day
I stepped off the edge, and floated away
soaring through cloud-laden memories again
where is she hiding, my dream-woven friend?
My ally, my teacher, guide to this place
She’s laughing, she’s shrieking, peek-a-boo face
A bucket of clouds she dumps on my head
Says, “I’m right here boy it’s time to get fed”
“Froth”
There’s a brave new world out there
& I don’t want no part
I’s a just a scared and I don’t care whose aware I don’t want a new start
There’s a lake outside my window
& sometimes I just can’t deal
With the driving around I just strive and I’ve found that I’m still alive and I can still feel
& time keeps getting thicker
It needs to lose some weight
I’ll sweat it out with you honey
Things are going to be just great
Yeah things are going to be just great
Yeah things are going to be just great
There’s this girl down there outside my window
It’s raining right now and she’s walking her dog
She dressed it in a yellow slicker
They’re walking through the fog
& time keeps getting thicker
It needs to lose some weight
I’ll sweat it out with you honey
Things are going to be just great
Yeah things are going to be just great
Yeah things are going to be just great
Don’t you know that if you get bored
You can just walk
Listen to the crashing waves
Curling and spitting the froth
Yeah just spitting the froth
Ooooo just spitting the froth
Yeah just spitting the froth
Ooooo just spitting the froth
