A chain of beautiful accidents
light up like strings of Chinese firecrackers.
I follow trails that may or may not be blue.
They tip toe to the coast and snake around wild peacocks.
Funny things happen when you close your eyes,
lines from A to B are never completely straight.
I come for the sun and stay for the drinks.
Sometimes my thoughts make spider webs in my eyes.
Twelve doves like fingers walk in and out.
Off centre circles revolve around shapes caught in my throat.
For the long nights I played movies
that I wanted and hated as much as cinnamon jelly beans.
I don’t really know what brought me here.
Perhaps I’ve fallen through the rabbit hole, but
Maybe it was only a chain of beautiful accidents.
