Concrete & Nails

from Movie Theatre Haiku by Chris Robley

lyrics

so you think you’ve gone
is it any wonder that you won’t stay long
spoiled bon vivants in the real world with no confidence

so you’ve gone away
is it any wonder that you won’t stay there
out all on your own
soon enough you will come crawling home

concrete and nails
bitter betrayals
stones against stick
bones against brick
stepping on cracks
knife in the back
when all else fails
run with your tail between your legs
back home

raise society on a little bit of sesame street propriety
and this is what you’ll get
little mama’s boys and teachers’ pets
