So I was walking around in my head last night<br />
In between sleep and<br />
Being awake, I said to myself, I said, I said<br />
Hey Charlie, your flowers lack ambition<br />
…My face = !!!<br />
Rebuttal:<br />
So I drooped<br />
Like in the summertime<br />
When I found no bones to hold my body straight<br />
And just melted into my shoes<br />
My cat then took this opportunity to sneak under the blanket and curl up under my calves<br />
And the warmth was like love,<br />
Like how the sun looked today<br />
A too bright yellow on the lake<br />
(me in a fast car<br />
With loud music)<br />
The lake Glinting sharp yellows a mi retina<br />
(La reh-teen-ah! La reh-teen-ah! Arriba arriba!)<br />
And waking up again – 6am<br />
My whole body yearning to wrap up in the blanket again<br />
It is really unkind, teenage eyes aren’t meant to see this<br />
hour of the morning<br />
But reluctantly ill wake up in the middle of the<br />
shower, somewhere between the showerhead and the drain<br />
And school ain’t that bad anyways as long<br />
as you keep your priorities straight and focus on the birds in the parkinglot<br />
And now at midday I’m wiping away clouds from my heavy eyelids<br />
You can hear the cumulus whisper “winter is leaving”<br />
And you know I can’t wait till the sunlight gets back into my bones<br />
spring is coming - I can feel it<br />
(what would you say if we floated again like we did last summer<br />
its been far too long, but you know my feathers have recently been groomed and I think im ready to<br />
pluck starlight outta the sky to carry on my tongue<br />
(for you))<br />
its all so true! But the sky is still blue and grows stronger everyday! The rain comes and gets my hair<br />
all sopping wet – but now the raindrops come slower<br />
(tap tap tap tap tap)<br />
and the sun shining through the petals of some vibrant bloom – my eyes meet your eyes<br />
shimmer – this! This is the season to shimmer<br />
youth take heed<br />
there is no time to waste<br />
so kiss your mothers cheek and rub the dogs head and shake your fathers hand and wink at your<br />
brother and blow a raspberry at your sister and let yourself go<br />
it is a most fufilling daydream, life<br />
I wouldn’t want anything else
