Yellow House Man

poem by: Alice Inwonderland
Written on Jul 19, 2016

The man in the hat, by the window, he laughs at me
In the yellow house
As I dwell in my misery
Yes he laughs at me

Why so miserable, he smiles
The black crows circle by
He stands still, unmoving
Are you really there?

Am I imagining you, yellow house man?
Do you mock me?
Am I mocking myself?
The crows keep circling

So still I long to be
How so still?
No care for the world around
The yellow house man, he smiles

Do you know something I do not?
Can you share with me your secret?
The crows they follow your smile
The crows they enjoy your secret.
