Sailing

If I could sail

I'd sail away

Far away

I'd sail away from this place

But I wouldn't go to another

I would stay in between

Refusing to stay

Refusing to go

If I could sail

I'd bring my friends

Because knowing me I'd see a spider and fall overboard from fear

Or shipwreck because I don't know how to steer

Or accidentally cut all the sails

And get stranded on an island somewhere

Yes

I'd bring my friends

They'd probably end up having to lock me belowdecks

But that's okay

I wouldn't die

If I could sail

I'd sail as far as I could

Or I'd say I would and turn back

As soon as I cross the line of buoys

I'd sail if he came with me

He's everything

I'd sail if my people did too

If I could sail I'd try to

But it's probably best for everyone if I didn't

    I am

    burning

    this is not unusual

    for me, the radiator

    but this isn't

    I'm freezing it's cold outside

    friends grab me for warmth because

    I'm a human sun

    sunny smiles 

    sunny skin 

  • Kids

    Sectionals

    is the equivalent of a curse word.

    He warned us not to complain

    I did anyway.

    It's chaos

    no one listens

    nothing gets done

    unproductive

    I hate being useless.
