Songs of Innocence:
A glance out the window
A black mask looking through it
The cat looks at him lazily
As human like hands eats the rest of her food
I look through the glass
Black eyes look back at me
I examine him from the clear door of the kitchen
Black and dark brown; chubby
I stare at him for a few moments
A feeling of fondness overcomes me
Before he disappears into the darkness
Songs of Experience:
My dad yells
He stands in the living room
The black mask staring directly at me
Eyes filled with fear
The cat looks at him lazily
His human like hands feeling the carpet for the first time
His chubby stomach dragging across the floor
A feeling of hilarity combined with fondness overcomes me
As my dad chases him out
Into the darkness
