daylight Firefly is
this your skin or the LampLight
is this sweat on the wall tent honeybee
bumblebee tell me which really makes the rose petals
like inner
wrist or the pheromones that Kill the fly
is this your skin or cheddarhissing
onto cast iron I spill I spill
why
do you thatch the grass like You thatch Your
hair in
the morning I wonder
how you thatch your hair
in themorning
