~Ticket~

drinking Folgers
you say
sorry for
assuming

don't let
the sun
catch you
crying don't
you even try

the ticket
has expired
it doesn't
matter what
cheese you use
as long
as you
catch the mouse

keeping my
eye on
the now
trying to
at least

harder then
it sounds
wearing rose-colored
glasses coated
with honey
and plated
with gold

sometimes you
have to
unfollow old dreams
to chase
new ones

remember to
look at
the stars
and leave
the night
at your feet

sky clad
in the
beauty of
wild stars

soaking in
the ocean
of space
it works
more often
then you
think
