i was a styrofoam cup on the lonely road
with nothing but the breeze carrying my abode
with decomposition my only aspiration
i felt nothing but empty desperation
until a creature as red as the radiating blood in flush
decided to crawl onto me and create a home of me
with negligence, I rolled it off protecting it from the likes of me
but no matter what, I could tell that there was a difference in the likes of it
a difference that would make this styrofoam cup on a lonely road
a styrofoam cup with a home
was that selfish on behalf of my own?
