(Z. Walters)

The more flowers you grow

the more spiders will come
and they've gotten all plump from eating all summer long
the days are getting shorter and the leaves begin to fall

what used to be high strung
has slowed to protocol


we twirl and we spin and we cash ourselves in
stuck in hibernation how long has it been


the more dollars you get
the more pennies you'll pinch
till your pockets are so full

your thirst you won't seem to quench
with idle hands and stopped up plans
and eatin out with all your friends

move over october and let summer in

we twirl and we spin and we cash ourselves in

stuck in hibernation how long has it been
