ACCOUNT OF MY DAYS
Sequence: 4
SOMEONE AND ME
someone complained about my attitude
so OK let's compare our attitudes
my attitude will bake a pie yours can too
we'll do a taste test
I'll bet I win or do no worse
than second
someone said I should
make astonishment for my sins
and I'm willing but
so many things are a complete surprise
to me I don't know where to begin
and I could never tell
when I was done
someone couldn't understand
why I woke so early and got up
in the cold when the sky looked
like someone had stirred ashes into the milk
and put on yesterday's clothes
and repeated myself but I just said
the sky looks like ashes someone
buried in milk and then
I repeated myself
