Rising

I have risen 

For too many times to count 

I strut and worry

 

And lie what this is all about 

I am a million snow flurries 

Dancing around the subject

 

Do you object 

To this crystallized cold 

I have become, far removed from you

 

Does it make you blue? 

Does it provoke some kind

Of reaction, a proven action?

 

And by and by the time flies 

It swarms around me like

Little insects the clock

 

Ticks, tocks, clicks, stops
