My girl and I we started fostering dogs Shit's a hassle but they help to keep her calm She's seen a lot so have those pups They connect in a way that's fun for me to watch She's young and she's beautiful and she's warm But my head is always on what it's on My little projects some are decades long Some near completion most are a ways off Somehow scattered and at the same time fixated I think I get that from my mom she's such a busy lady My girl's making efforts to be more social Says it would mean a lot if I would try it with her Wall of flowers between myself and dinner guests Chain and stanchion between myself and all the rest Hot air between myself and any room Flaming sword between myself and the whole wide world That sort of information ties you to a song You grow close to me and we form a bond That's how it works you, you buy in willfully And this is as close as I get to intimacy
