I've been spending my time more wisely;
staying lively and bundled.
Sometimes your eyeballs dance. (so surreal)
Eye've been looking and looking. (for something real)
Too bad it's been found (out) and
these days there's a lot to learn about.
                                             (new things)
Keep on keeping on;
rolling on and playing (music) on.

I've slipped off and I've flipped off (my heart)
I've gotten lost and stayed in the trees with a fire.
                                          (reflecting in my eyes)
A small torch in my hand; a dancing liar.
Here we go again: a pulling on my mind's feet.
A loose foothold. A loose willpower.
That **** book about a wallflower,
nostalgia brain, going insane. (quite literally)
I've got some shaky hands but a sealed mouth.
The old soul is a cold soul headed south.
This trip will be a bourbon; properly aged.
No one knows. No one knows. Know one that knows.
That was the night everything changed.

Camping; facing the wind.
Feeling all too safe; sleepwalking
                                    (now and then)
There's something to be said about a foundation.
(a strong one)
and there's something to be said about a dedication
to a flimsy one.
A road trip or an expedition?
A day dream or a premonition?
Take baby steps (toward big steps)
Take what you want (need) from this and (life) everything.
Smirk and scoff when you're smirked (and/or) scoffed.
Biting your tongue (off) now;
not sleeping at all somehow.
Coffee brain like a crack ******* flame.
                                       (do not condone)
Unwind your sanity to keep hunkered down
in what is real and more full-heartedly genuine
than any other known human experience.
(live)
        (die)
               (get read about)

Learn to go to a different place.
Learn to read eyes and give space.
Build and sleep. Drink and eat.
It is your words that make me speak.

I've seen limonade spilt down the sewer
and down the drain. (life limonade)
These limons have long past rotten.
Stale, and forgotten; limonade spillway.

I wouldn't be satisfied with the quality of that limonade.
(not at all)

Einstein smoked a pipe.
Wet stones for the ivy knives
keep the jungle clean shaven.
Stay dressed for work.
"What line of work are you in?"
"Marketing, old boy."
He didn't wear a beard to work;
neither does the jungle these days.
Einstein smoked a pipe.

You're going to make me lose my mind,
but I'm okay with that. I love you for that.
Take me someplace new. Set up a homestead
                                                (under my skull)
Plant your garden on my sara bellum. Grow.
Let's **** my life and make a baby.
Bring it up in a new home;
a home in the mind (my) forrest.
Building, building, and building.
                                              (something worthwhile)
I'll take you to the hardware store.
Climb a ladder over me; or a dozen
each taller than the latter.

(stay tall)
