The Squirrel
I moved my hand and I saw the world
I moved my hand and saw the world
and also a squirrel
It was dark, it moved fast.
Too fast for me to see its fur
Too fast for me to see its fluffy tail
Where do you go in such a hurry?
I supposed even animals have places to be.
I suppose even animals have places they want
to leave
My leg hurt from sitting on the floor
and my cigarette was the only thing I could think about
Something bothered me but I didn't bother to look
I just moved my hand and saw the world.
