Pick up stix<\/p>\n
Someone once told me if you think in rhymes<\/p>\n
You have a mental issue<\/p>\n
I rather differ<\/p>\n
Poetry is a far more effective method of communication<\/p>\n
And it helps me be okay with not actually trying<\/p>\n
Pick up stix<\/p>\n
Isolating a thought pattern<\/p>\n
Selecting one<\/p>\n
Without disturbing any others<\/p>\n
When all I want to do is combine all the thoughts together<\/p>\n
My favorite part was always dropping the<\/p>\n
Pick up stix<\/p>\n
To see where each one would lay<\/p>\n
Which would nuzzle against the other<\/p>\n
Which one would move if you dared prove your brother wrong<\/p>\n
(Clearly a favored game of our multi-year mandatory, induced boredom)<\/p>\n
I never really cared to win<\/p>\n
Pick up stix<\/p>\n
To pass the time<\/p>\n
Instead of competition or advantage<\/p>\n
I just never really tried<\/p>\n
Left them there on the floor<\/p>\n
Someone would say it was understandable<\/p>\n
Pick up stix<\/p>\n
That would be my therapist<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
