Bubble
all of this yuck is bringing me down
where to begin and when will it end
I'm plugging my ears and spiking my drink
and thinking about a place in the sun
that never gets fried
or televised
I'm advised to buckle down, put blinders on
stop getting lost in the big picture
see a tree and carve my initials
and it's fine with you
it's better than okay
in our rainbow bubble
of art on the walls and books in the closets
and passion in bed
and The Church on the stereo
we're home we're in love
but I'm psychic and I know
the bubble we covet
is about
to burst.
