like a hermit crab
like a hermit crab,
i am taking inventory,
homeless,
without any destiny,
i'll bask in the golden sun,
i'll look to the sky
drenched
in a perfect blue,
a spider weaving just another
story
and once again
live out
this fantasy in my head,
shake
the sand
from my Cinderella slippers,
the bougainvillea
blossoming
in my sleepy paradise.
i am taking inventory,
homeless,
without any destiny,
i'll bask in the golden sun,
i'll look to the sky
drenched
in a perfect blue,
a spider weaving just another
story
and once again
live out
this fantasy in my head,
shake
the sand
from my Cinderella slippers,
the bougainvillea
blossoming
in my sleepy paradise.
