Asteroid - Passafire

ms.

warning and mr caution

quarreling in their morning cottage

about books they bid on at there local auctions

whether or not the other knows what the plot is

the alarm goes off at six w/ the covers they use

mr.'s unemployed and the other’s recluse

waiting for the asteroid he says ''what's the use"

aware of the repairs he’s supposed to do

scared to tell the wife that he has no clue

about screwdrivers or wrenches

or how to build benches or fences

he clenches fists in frustration

hes losing his patience

at the long lengths it takes him

to build or rail

or hammer in a nail

his tailor

suited him for failure

tired of her premonitions of danger

he measures and plans and tinkers in anger

rushing in her room to show his invention

tripping through the door with proud intentions

falling to the floor it sparks and smashes

suddenly they stand facing smoldering ashes

ms.

warning and mr.

caution

together by their burning cottage

with al of the neighbors watching

they see that they’ve been holding each other hostage

Doesn’t matter who’s the fault is

Things will change regardless

ms.

warning and mr.

caution

together by their burning cottage
