in the weeds
I think the weed made me paranoid
well, it heightened my feelings, that’s for sure,
and I was not feeling that guy,
and I did not want him feeling me.
it’s cool. here’s some grass, and a tree
a shady tree. this will relax me.
I can feel the grass, beneath my ass
ha! that’s a good one!
but have you heard that melody in the leaves?
I’ve heard the trees talk through their roots
so they must sing through the leaves.
the birds harmonize, and the bees -
I forgot what I was saying. thinking.
this is all in my head. I’m speaking to me.
me. Me. me. ME. that’s a funny word.
gosh, it’s been a while under this tree.
the sun is so bright, the lilacs so pretty.
I’ll just take a nap, until my friend finds me.
hehe
