the boy with the thorn in his side
is never afraid to hide
when it comes to the truth inside.
however more, she is there for
the score. afraid to fall under
the shore. give him the cookies
let her keep hold of the cuties.
children here, adults there.
snowflakes fall, forever bare.
run this way, that way, there.
pull these words together.
strings attached, books flown open.
phrases thrown down.
trollies taken. who knows who
will bring home the bacon.
I loved how I read this one and I was like, "Wait, what exactly is she talking about?" And then I read it again, and it just seems, to me, of course, that you're not talking about one specfic thing, but just like showing a timeline of series of events that happened not necessarily to one person but maybe a group and how they all lead to the same question, not literally who'll "bring home the bacon," but who'll make it in the end/who'l survive.
