Don't Close Your Eyes So Soon

Ma’am, ma’am. I understand you’re having a bad day. Kicked full of
scrabble she’d mount the wiser offer. O, buzz off. Ma’am--- ma’am,
I just-- haven’t got the words today. Ma’am? Just take the daisies.
I spent all afternoon dusting the petals. Ma’am? You see, I, I, I,
accidentally sold my lunch money. As a matter of fact-- I spent all
afternoon dusting these petals. Ma’am? You see, these flowers come
from a long line of fury, ma’am. I sure hope we can come to an
understanding. Ma’am, ma’am, please don’t cry, your day will come
true, don’t close your eyes so soon. Ma’am? I picked these just for
you. Don’t close your eyes too soon. Ma’am, my hands hurt. My skin
dresses down like a sun-fueled moon, ma’am? I know what it feels
like. I know what it feels like to watch a day break into pieces,
and then have people stare at you like you broke it. But ma’am...
you didn’t break it and you are not broken. Ma’am? Let’s gather the
pieces together, alright? 1, 2, at the count of three. Fold into
the pieces that you were. 1, 2, 3. Ma’am? Ma’am? Don’t close your
eyes too soon. Don't close your eyes so soon.
