I've managed to escape the hellish crevice of my home, now I'm roaming languidly around finding peace and tranquility (that of which lack within me). Or so I thought as I wondered aimlessly down the road, I stumbled upon a park to which many homeless call home. Walking by your typical stoners and snot-nosed brats, I sat down on a half broken bench. Shocked at the sight of this poor maintenance I, I look up to what was a beautiful 3-tone sky and that to my surprise I've finally found it. I've found the tranquility I ever so lacked, there it was for about ten minutes before the sky blacked. The summer has brought this. The season I dread the most had bestowed upon me my bliss.

Now I find myself gazing at the full moon in between palm trees and an electricity tower. It's so eccentric but it continues being interrupted by random strangers asking for the time, for the ****** hour.

Miss Moon did wend
her way to the lagoon
whereupon she found
the second platoon

they were hoping
she'd turn up at the lagoon
for she had an expert hand
with a ladling spoon

to the mess tent
she did march with the sergeant
so she could check
that her ladling spoon wasn't bent

the platoon clapped
as she expertly used he spoon
to ladle the beef and vegetable soup
at high noon

after she'd finished
her ladling for the day
the sergeant of the platoon
gave her ten weeks pay

spooning skills
like Miss Moons are unique
to be possessed of them
is truly magnifique
the gentle touch
of the moon's light
lifted her encumbered
soul
of its plight
her inner harmony
bound in unrelenting tears
she'd wept
for an eon
the solace of the moon
steeped her in its
healing grace
to bring
unto her
a serene embrace
mere crumbs
to offer
not a decent
feed
take the crumbs
elsewhere
as they'll
be received
more graciously
