mad, bad and dangerous to grow,
fed and sativa both,
the two I want to smoke,
and hang high on that green rope.
he held my hips and i watched his eyes
lips on lips
bodies pursed upright, we breathed

sounds and lights
hectic in my head
the fog claimed me

what came next, i'll never know
but the feelings
first, warm and sweet
turned soon to cold and bleak

this is all happiness is
this is all love is

i floated next to him
then he let me go
i drifted away
for no one to ever know

but this is all i know
My name is Ryan Navin
I guess you can call me that
But you could call me a lot of things
I’m a man
But what is a man?
What does it mean to be a man?
The term changes meaning from time to time.
Today it means to shave your *****
and sit behind a desk typing numbers into a computer.
You could call a lot of things a lot of things.
But who gives these things their meaning?
I suppose people.
There is nobody else around to do it,
But what gives us the right.
How can we give purpose through name,
when we don’t even know our own purpose?
There is no meaning or purpose to end.
That is it, all wrapped up into one ominous and mysterious word
End.
But thee ends must justify the means.
Well what I mean is…
What is the meaning to life?
What is the meaning to after life?
Past, Present, and Future life.
Is it Happiness, Contentment, Discovery, Honor, Existence, Persistence?
I think it’s jazz, but what do I know?
I’m just a man.
I’m Ryan Navin

But what does that mean?
prose
Clear off the bed
and come lie next to me
or lie with me
or crawl under these sheets
and die with me
or without
I'm used to it
but I could get used to this

Clear out your mind
and sink down low with me
or get high with me
or hold my hand
and lose some time with me
or without
I'm used to it
but I could get used to this

Clean up your act
and fall apart with me
or fall, apart from me
or fall, a part of me
and take some time to cry with me
or without
I'm used to it
but I could get used to this

Clean out your car
and run away with me
or run to me
or put it in reverse
and go back to the start with me
or without
I'm used to it
but I could get used to this

Cleanse your spirit
and embrace this pain with me
or brace for pain with me
or take a moment to put me back together
and just be with me, with me
or without
I'm used to it
but I could still get used to this
