Grasshopper Days
Just sitting around
with nothing to do
watching everything go by
Like vanilla ice-cream
on a long silver spoon
melting in laziness
The lingering sweetness
of endless summer days dribbling
down fingers to tongue
some drips on my nose, my shirt
Life is a hot summer day
on a melting planet
history dribbling down
Towards waiting ants
patiently building their
diligent tomorrows
somewhere underground
