| Shoes & socks protect soles from rocks |
| And thick coats defend your skin & hide you |
| What to do when there’s holes in you? |
| You’re a beanbag with no beans inside you |
| Bored, thin, low, on, beans, beans |
| He tore his seams on his broken dreams |
| Now he lies around too flat to serve |
| He drags his feet. He feels incomplete |
| And bad dogs grind down his last good nerve |
| He’s bored, thin, low, on, beans |
| And he would have stayed that way, too |
| With no way to turn back the tide |
| Ostensibly not so bad, but in need of a spark inside |
| But another came along |
| And though it’s difficult to explain |
| She poured herself into him like rain |
| For every raindrop, there was a bean |
| For every stay outside, there was a bean |
| An electric nest of worker bees |
| Boiling under his skin |
| They pop like bombs in a Tupperware bowl |
| And are multiplied each by ten |
| Swelling his quiddity up until |
| He feels like his old beanbag self again |
| Stuffed |
| Full |
| Of |
| Beans |
