STILL LIFE  (c) 1996 Monica E. Gómez Verse 1:  Oranges in a blue bowl on the table in my kitchen. Backyard filled with wildflowers uncut grass and empty hours. Refrain:  I’m not playing the game anymore. I just don’t believe that’s what life’s for. Maybe in time we’ll all find the way to lead the still life, moved by each day. Verse 2:  Black cat stalks the white wings in the golden weeds where I threw their seed. I watch from the window and I know I have all I need.  Refrain Bridge:  So I’m here in my own house just watching the sun shine on the oranges in a blue bowl.
