I munch
I inch
I work my way through
This part of my life
Living on the rough skin
Of my vertical world
I go now up
Then down
Always looking for food
It's insatiable
It's consuming
It is my driving force
I'd be distracted
By all the wonders around me
But they are commonplace
And banal
What is shiny to me
Is an emerald leaf
It's filling
It's thrilling
And it's cheap
I eat and I grow
Why?
I don't know
There is a reason to this
Maybe someday I'll see
Until then
I'll prowl this world that I know
Eating this, eating that
And growing a little more
Every day
I inch
I work my way through
This part of my life
Living on the rough skin
Of my vertical world
I go now up
Then down
Always looking for food
It's insatiable
It's consuming
It is my driving force
I'd be distracted
By all the wonders around me
But they are commonplace
And banal
What is shiny to me
Is an emerald leaf
It's filling
It's thrilling
And it's cheap
I eat and I grow
Why?
I don't know
There is a reason to this
Maybe someday I'll see
Until then
I'll prowl this world that I know
Eating this, eating that
And growing a little more
Every day
