Great and bulbous
Blue and supreme
Not knowing how to walk among the creaking carbon anymore
- Paste your college rejection letter here -
Did it confuse?
Perplex?
Was it tinged with scarlet and stamped with a vibrant scrolling font?
Their back porch just as pristine and comfortable as any ballpark
- candy coating goes here -
That experience that will change your life
Will happen regardless
Here or there
Does that make you nervous?
Genuinely amused?
Inquisitive?
The frisbee that gets lost in great reserves is driving you deeper
into what haunts you in piles and burrows deep caverns into what we
have so tirelessly tried to protect
Alleviating pain by - do this now -
Counting the idiots
You are figuring it would be easy
It's a nonchalant degree in snake oil
A Westminster bucket of chicken
A golden ring that makes a nice napkin cuff
And as we tromp out trying not to look back face to the sun and pants
prickly with summer convergence we remember our tragic misstep when
all was right because we didn't know any better and what if we could
live a thousand of those simultaneously?
The background begins to laugh in rustle and chirp
Our canopy all ablaze with better ideas
