Dander
your grimmy face worn cruel
by excessive retentive tendencies
how they live around you
mundane behavior
so out of your reach
smiles laughter
you settle for sarcasm
a cigarette filtered voice
leaks from your mouth
every draft shakes
city dander
from that ragged coat
your cumbersome cart worn rusty
by collective sentimental treasures
how they discard their world
within your reach
trinkets luxuries
you settle for necessities
grubby stained hands
gather unwanted treasures
every dumpster stores
city dander
by excessive retentive tendencies
how they live around you
mundane behavior
so out of your reach
smiles laughter
you settle for sarcasm
a cigarette filtered voice
leaks from your mouth
every draft shakes
city dander
from that ragged coat
your cumbersome cart worn rusty
by collective sentimental treasures
how they discard their world
within your reach
trinkets luxuries
you settle for necessities
grubby stained hands
gather unwanted treasures
every dumpster stores
city dander
