a life of mediocrity, and a man's desire to rise above it |
I'm an adult, still splashing in a world of pudding Dumped in its stagnant,vanilla pool at birth Exploring,sloshing in it lovely, creme-like aroma now is nauseating its matter covers my clothes scrambling out of them turning on the faucet slowly, drip, drip soft colored moisture hits the ground needing more proof opening up the faucet familiar liquid squirts out happilly Nauseated and dizzy, the world is spinning, my eyes not dancing, rolled in the back of my head Collapsing on the ground, the spinning globe begging me to explore and trash my past Wake up, sustained from within Acknowledging my life cycle blasting out of it talents and opportunities, trees and plants cultivated natural cycle, pollen swirling from these plants itching incessentaly on this dry, windy day inside, from my own residence canopy of shade is blocking this midday sun opening the outside door, neighbors trimming their trees In my yard, my plants are straining, bending against the wind young seedlings in my garden blown away Sturdy, strong ones remain Machined wind...pilotless helicopter landing in the street decision to sit through the natural cycle wait for my opportunities or pounce on this once now, I'm 10 years old a garage sale full of junk sold $110, nickels, dimes, quarters in our black safety box snap back to the present pulling my hands out of my pocket vanilla pudding dripping I lick it, and smile walk away from the helicopter dropping into the pool, basking in the midday sun, still floating, pissing in my vanilla pool flavoring it with my personality |
