DREAM COME TRUE 2 ~

 DREAM COME TRUE

————————————

 for, you know who

Fucking

Going grocery shopping

With the one you love

Isn’t grocery shopping

Flowers

How clever to be so

Beautiful — to have us

Move them into the light

In Country

Everywhere —

Little bits of mouseshit

Little bits of seed

Name

With my long hair

Tucked up into my cap

I’m called redneck

No

When there are no poems to write

Get used to it —

No is no

Hidden

Every single second

This stream passes under

This bridge

Eco

I chopped down the tree I planted

Cut up and burned as fuel

Carried out its ash to spread

Sure

The cat hides away all

Day asleep and thinks nothing

Of coming out and wanting a kiss
