Gritty
Sand gets in everywhere
Wearing down the moments
Rubbing away at emotions ‘till
They’re uncomfortably raw
Sand buries secrets
Obliterates kings
Wore poor Ozymandias
Down to his ankles
Sand is
The thief of time
The shaper of continents
The unbearable friction
Sand gets in everywhere
So that’s a no to the dunes
Let’s just stick to the car.
