i am certain this is something you do not know - Regina Green

the symbol for cat is two hands behind your back
the symbol for too much sugar in the coffee is one step
slowly to the right
the symbol for i want to spend the rest of my life with you
starts in the collection of favorite cowboys of the old west
and i nearly lost myself there
i fell behind a tumbleweed
i think that’s what they call them
the symbol for help is more complicated and would take
a day or two to explain
the symbol for going to sleep is the normal eyes
closing
