Caution Toodles

The willed calvary has a rough outer shell as they wait for their taxi
Playing games of checkers and wrong hopscotch in the 80's
Wearing thick jeans and coconuts
And why care? no bother to scuffle by and say "toodles!"  - cause we'll see you again soon
Never wondering where, but why
Pictures....and pictures...and pictures.

There are big pictures: hope, the world, willpower, Mother Nature, time, youth, harmony, shelter, fantasy, humanity, circumstance, water, violence, disease, virtue, mathematics

There are medium pictures: multivitamins, direct flights, apostrophes, hang gliding, Dick Clark, waterfalls, alfredo, Toledo, OH, grapevines, Alice in Wonderland, eskimo pie, glow sticks, inside jokes

There are small pictures: when the electric company misspelled your last name on your bill and the change makes it sound really dirty, Swiss cheese from the deli counter that has wayyy too many holes in it, like more than normal, and you feel jipped, staring so long at a cloud that your eyes begin to itch and water and you don't do anything about it because it's a perfect moment that shouldn't be disturbed, accidently, but sort of purposely wearing slippers to the grocery store, feeding pigeons downtown and seagulls at the beach directly in front on the sign that says to not feed them, the guy who seems pretentious, but really isn't, when he lights his cigarette with a magnifying glass, trying to keep a laugh under your breath when you're talking to someone on the phone and they pronounce a word really wrong, in an accidental fake-British accent, but you can't hold it back
