Neighbor - Pinegrove

Little insect upside down and trying

To right-side-up itself, felt by my right foot tapping

Squirming mechanism and it spins and tips vertical

But in my alien eye I can see he is beautiful

Well, I love my neighbor

I love his determined behavior

If it were me I probably

Might have just stayed there

Mid-sized opossum in front of my house dying

Collided with a vehicle driving it out through the lightning

She falls down softly in the middle of the lane incoming

And it’s clearly incumbent on me to run out to her and do something

So I approach her there and I’m suddenly squirming

And I’m scared and I’m tryin' to do right but I guess I desecrate everything

Well, I love my neighbor

I loved her courageous behavior

A ray now shines out of her mouth

And it points back to nature

Morning gosling echoing wide around me

A V migrating down easy to a better climate

A startling shot rings out and now the geese are all screaming

The marksman’s adrenaline’s up as he stands up smiling

Well, I love my neighbor but

Don’t understand his behavior

I love that bird

But I don’t ever want to take her
