Chasing Hypotheticals

I'm winded --
chasing hypotheticals.
I'm winded --
they run so far so fast.

I'm wounded --
by our missed opportunities.
I'm wounded --
by dreams that might have been.

What will you be to me tomorrow?
(Today you mean nothing at all.)
But there is something inside me
that makes me question myself.
Who could I be with you tomorrow?
(Today I mean nothing at all.)

I wonder --
if grass is green where you are.
I wonder --
will my thumbs tend or bruise?

I torture --
myself creating fantasies.
I torture --
the world oscillating.

What will you be to me tomorrow?
(Today you mean nothing at all.)
But there is something inside me
that makes me question myself.
Who could I be with you tomorrow?
(Today I mean nothing at all.)

Today I mean nothing at all.

If you haven't already caved to my requests, make it up to me by LIKING the band that added a melody to these lyrics: Butcher the Baker.

Ostrich

Too afraid to stand and fight; Too much pride to fly away. Cowardice: immobilize Egos lacking skill to play! Games of conflict can’t be played By those afraid to deal a hand. Flightless birds avoid their call Ostriching heads in the sand.  Thanks, Trifecta for the prompt, which requested an animal name be used as a verb. I figured I might as well ignore the dictionary and make my own...flightless birds have always intrigued me, anyhow.

on the surface

on the surface of the moon my feet are as light as my cares tonight but my world's just as empty and the space just as dark and the moon dust obscures the best stars in the sky so I look deep inside and I search for deeper meaning but I've been running on bingo fuel since long before we landed. the craters are only deep enough to cradle my head as I lie down to cry or fall down to die -- time will answer that riddle
