Ms. Breath and Mr. Go Away

Ms. Breath and Mr. Go Away
have hopped aboard a floater
they sniff around the motor

dogs of a feather
having bisquits together
relations sever
but this one, never

Ms. Breath and Mr. Go Away
have learned to sigh in harmony
they're sighing now incessently

they wanna go to heaven
but it's closed for restoration
any moment it could open
and leave them both with nothing


and Ms. Breath jumps at the chance to roam
she likes it up where the air is thin
and Mr. Go Away stays at home
content to just breathe out and in

Ms. Breath and Mr. Go Away
have felt a fine confusion
and have come this conclusion

they can both smell the sun
the possibility of fun
then they stumble on a gun
that could belong to either one

Ms. Breath and Mr. Go Away
