the earth turns and turns

and doesn’t stop for anyone.

some days i lie in the grass and

imagine it’s me making the world spin

through sheer force alone.

but if i were a planet

(and good god, that’s a

whole ‘nother story)

if i were a planet i’d

throw myself out of orbit and never ever stop.

so who am i to make the earth spin?

if i can’t even make my own planet

stand still.
