the extra button

sewn into my shirt tag
could give me the second chance
to show a change could be had

how to lose how to win
could get lost in passing words
and the sirens of a nearby ambulance

a bicycle tire under a benz
used in making polite requests
stones the healer of a nearby trend
and insults the dealer when affections commend

five days in hell
five days of consumption
brain badgering witnesses
of some kind of corruption

the thoughts of a child
grow up in depression
only when the distinction
gets the best of decisions.

you better believe
as much as you speak
when the responsibility
is worth the upkeep
