"Haiku Nursery Rhyme" is about the joyful possibility hidden in being a weird kid. It is an ode to feeling like you’re always too much or not enough - a big ungainly werewolf, or a tiny tricycle on a highway - and learning to own it.

Saturday
But something isn’t right
Like a moth
to a battery tea light
Sky is grey
And my plot, it needs a hole
Lea’s here
Just take her leopard spot of gold
I’m a motorcycle in the bike lane
I’m a lemon tree of limes
I’m a werewolf licking my ice cream
Haiku nursery rhyme
I’m a tricycle on the beltway
I’m a sippy cup of wine
I’m a starfish with a pipe dream
I’m a haiku nursery rhyme
I'm a motorcycle in the bike lane
I’m a lemon tree of limes
Play pretend
Always too much or not enough
Or run ahead
And no one can call my bluff
You don’t get
To sink or skip my stone
Lea’s here
Just take her leopard spot of gold
I’m a motorcycle in the bike lane
I’m a lemon tree of limes
I’m a werewolf licking my ice cream
Haiku nursery rhyme
I’m a tricycle on the beltway
I’m a sippy cup of wine
I’m a starfish with a pipe dream
I’m a haiku nursery rhyme
I’m a motorcycle in the bike lane
I’m a lemon tree of limes
I’m a werewolf licking my ice cream
Haiku nursery rhyme
I wanna be free from
A ceiling
The feeling
I’m always in between
I don’t want a meaning
I’m tired
Of reason
I’ll take it sight unseen
I wanna be free from
A ceiling
The feeling
I’m always in between
(I’m a motorcycle in the bike lane)
I don’t want a meaning
I’m tired
Of reason
I’ll take it sight unseen
I’m a motorcycle in the bike lane
I’m a lemon tree of limes
I’m a werewolf licking my ice cream
Haiku nursery rhyme
I’m a tricycle on the beltway
I’m a sippy cup of wine
I’m a starfish with a pipe dream
I’m a haiku nursery rhyme
I’m a motorcycle in the bike lane
I’m a lemon tree of limes
