Finch Barista

After all this time

And after all I've seen

Still saving snails from sidewalks

And earthworms from the street

All the things I learned

From my parents as a kid

Didn't have much relevance

Then all at once they did

Tired of writing songs about

The lives I've had before

Drudging up the feelings that

I don't feel anymore

I sit and watch the animals

Run around the park

Chipmunks fight for acorns

And rabbits chewing bark

And as I drink the coffee

I paid five dollars for

I wonder if a finch barista

Would charge me less or more

Tired of writing songs about

The lives I've had before

Drudging up the feelings that

I don't feel anymore
