I Need Soup

by S.J. Tyler

Go to the store
First unlock the door
Feel static build
As your feet rub the floor
Can’t let the friction
Climb up too high
Motor’s starting to sigh
And sputter
With a key in the ignition as gas particles die
Bet the pollution
Could choke you dead
And fill every orifice
In your fat head
Oh, you take your sweet time
Zapping your thumb on your keys
While I’m in the bedroom
Starting to freeze
I need your arms
I need you with me
I need some hot soup
Hurry back from the store

please

Illness gives us an alternate perspective and moves are emotions in unplanned directions. Great verse that says alot. Sniffles are a bummer.

When I have a cold, I am the most important person in the world. Where are people with soup and sympathy when you need them? Great write
