Keep Your Distance

Walk.  Look.  Catch a glimpse.

I see what I want and as the clock ticks

Maniacally inside I start to shutter with pride

And reach through the window to touch the bright prize

Touch.  Tilt.  Break.

Now the pieces are everywhere for Heaven's sake.

Damned am I for the risks I take.

And I curse under my breath for what a fool I make.

Dammit.

I'm just another man overboard.
