ABSENCE

ABSENCE

It's funny how 

It is your Birthday today

I've been thinking about you all day.

If you were still 

around I would

have called you tonight

to wish you a Happy Birthday and you would 

have laughed and said 

none of us are getting

any younger,you would have said something like Liverpool are playing Everton later on sky.

This is the first Birthday

 I won't 

ring you tonight.

Avie.

ESCALATION

Escalation 

I'm just an old fashioned 

cowboy with 

a six shooter

on my hip 

a riffle in hand 

whipping my horse

 into a gallop.

I carry a gun 

to protect my family 

cos the shelves at Walmart are filled with boxes of ammunition,and

I sure ain't the one 

who's pulling the trigger

around this town.

Avie.

GOTTA GET UP

Gotta get up 

gotta go to work

must do this

must do that

Stop.

COFFEE.

Avie.
