Commotion Poem by Judd David

Commotion commotion, shaking my head
Everybody’s trippin on a sour death bed
Waving their fists at the crowd outside
I could be mad
but I smile instead

I picture myself in a rainforest
with a girl feeding me grapes
We do what we do quickly
before the clouds rains escape

It’s all commotion commotion, shaking my head
I got some echoes in my ears and my eyes all red
Everybody’s crazy over banks of bread
I could be mad
but I smile instead

The queen on her thrown on the telephone
She calls me so quietly
and whispers in a voice even she can’t hear
Do you miss me?
but I don’t

It’s all commotion commotion, shaking my head
I got some echoes in my ears and my eyes all red
so I share the wine and I share the bread
I don’t know how you ended up in my bed
it’s all commotion commotion, shaking my head
I could be mad
but I smile instead

And the love lines cut as we walk on the line
I ain’t got no desire to set her flag on fire
I’ve been burned before and I’ve been wed
I could be mad

Don’t look back just to show me your tears
cause you’ll look back and laugh in a couple of years
I’m unstable and unable to face my fears
just caught in the commotion with you my dear

It’s all commotion commotion, shaking my head
I got some echoes in my ears and my eyes all red
and I sit on my couch here with legs of lead
I could be mad, but I smile instead
