Act Surprised - Kitty Wu

When branches cut the trees down

From their elbows to their knees now

Leaving final notes for those who

Care enough to read

Act surprised

When fires burn at freezing point

Whispering their words

Collecting victims endlessly

By yellowred alert

Act surprised

When mirrors let you know

In no uncertain terms

That what is closing in on you

Is every penny earned

Act surprised

When fumes of faded bodies

Travel through the air

Reminding you of paperwork

And endings unprepared

Act surprised
