waved at him and he waved back
got a lot in common with mr. scarecrow
we both repel, people in my case, crows and birds in his
we both just kinda have a way to say stay away
out there in the sun and the rain he is
don’t make no mattermind to him
I hide from the sun, thrive in the rain
emerge from the darkness under neon lights
don’t think I’m so scary but maybe I am
am I that menacing? intimidating? frightening?
moody maybe, quiet definitely
behind the dark sunglasses
maybe an aura of leave me alone
so what’s wrong with that? I just need someone to understand me
nobody’s got time for that
nobody cares
crows are scared of the scarecrow initially
then they get used to him
they aren’t dumb, they figure it out after a while
you have to keep moving him around so they think he’s real
change his clothes once in a while
I should try that sometime, maybe it works
they often are made up to be scary looking
that’s probably my makeup too
some people project death and fear onto a scarecrow
I can identify with that
