I could have been salt of the Earth
But I’ve gone and peppered myself with sheepishness.
This was sort of the last of all my classic reprises.

Let it ring.
Leave me be.
Just let the doorbell talk to them.
Normally I’m not like this at all
But today I kind of am.
Think of it as a special occasion.
Think of it as some time to get to know yourself a little more.
Open doors to the portal of your rhino shaped mind.

I’m burning up
I can see your sweat drip.
Or is that just humidity?
Regardless I start to eat my popsicle quicker.
Can’t tell if it or the air is thicker.
Corny jokes I have heard
But I don’t think I’ve ever read them.
Although I really liked the voice you put on
When you said them.
It’d be really nice for moments like this to just last as long as possible.

But I freeze up on the inside
While my outer shell’s just crimson.
That rhino’s under ice
And the husk he was living in has just turned uninhabitable.
Unfathomable turn of events.
But understandable if you were really investigating this whole time.

Frizzy hair and raindrops
One thinks the other can’t belong
Little did we know
In the future we’d discover
That we were wedging each other all along.
At least there was that one great moment that you probably forgot

But I remember.
How could I forget?
I subsist solely on some frozen energy I stored a long damn time ago.
How do you think I survive the snow?
I’m more puzzled at how you lasted that long in the heat.
Or was it just humidity?
Again I can’t be sure.
Is there even a difference anyway?
Was there even a report on the density that day?

My head was in the clouds
I wasn’t paying attention anyhow.
And my rhino shaped brain’s reflection contained nothing after all.
