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
