Snow Day
When I was younger
The winters were much colder
and now I've got to wonder
what happened to the snow?
and in the summer
I used to go to beaches
but now I hate the people
so I just stay at home.
and it seems to me
that previously
the seasons would arrive and leave
more reasonably
and have you noticed?
the world is spinning faster
or slightly off it's axis
I can't put my finger on it
but I know that something's wrong.
and who decided?
that every January
would signify the new year
when every single school kid
knows that the new year
begins in early autumn
when we put on our new clothes
and file in class
and it seems to me
that previously
the seasons would arrive and leave
more reasonably
and have you noticed?
the world is spinning faster
or slightly off it's axis
I can't put my finger on it
but I know that something's wrong.
and all the summers
we had when we were younger
and all of our adventures
were filled with things to long for
but the winter
holds something very special
that we all called a 'snow day'
hey snow day...where'd you go?

Second Hand Cigarette
I smoked a second hand cigarette.
I found it on the ground and the filter was still wet.
I know what you must think
but baby I don't really care.
I'd recognize the stain of your lipstick anywhere.
I smoked a second hand cigarette
I found outside your house after you went in
and you didn't really see me
cuz I'm not that hard to miss
as I shivered in the shadow with your nicotine-y kiss.
This is something for the creepy people.
This is something for all you real live ghosts.
This is something for all those secrets that we keep so deep down.
This is something we can call our own.
My love for you is so complex.
I see you everyday but you don't know it yet.
I'm not out to be your lover;
I'm not out for t & a.
I save your cigarettes just to collect your DNA.
This is something for the creepy people.
This is something for all you real live ghosts.
This is something for all you sexual pioneers...
