The heart fails to recognize
What the eyes deny they see...

Here I’m trapped in endless morrows
Choking on the gag I’ve swallowed...

My eyes now long to witness
A gentle breeze stir up the dust...

The stereotypical southern white male with a wad...
Copenhagen Wintergreen wedged in his lower lip...

I never knew what I wanted to be before I was...
I only knew teacher was the answer...
