**** jenkins says to drink more water I’ve been dehydrated living at sea, pirated but here's some tea, I made it to some knee high waves passing my feet, I wade and start to deep dive away into some me time, maybe now I see why I felt Like I was 3 lives away from something sweet, like honey from a beehive, I think I tried to deny away that It was me, my way of painting free skies grey, as if my green eyes glazed and then left me blind to rays of blue that define days and nights, that we find stay in every designed way the sun and streetlights aim their light at things like bays where Otis sings tides away and water brings life paving ways for tree lines, shaving down the screen time slavery where pictures we like wave at us from behind eight gigs of our own devices, waiting for an e-vite to say, “welcome to the free life”, take us back to T-9, making typos due to key size, lately I drop speed by lacing life with Jeep drives, break from running it’s the Suite Life, saved time is a dream mined straight from underneath shrines made to teach us “decline today, to- morrow’s reclined shade is worth the bee line”, race against the streamlined weight of the “keep grinding” wages, get your lease signed, waive your rights to free fly, pay with card get denied, straying from the street signs may just get you steep fines, say that we can realize today that we can reply, “hey, let’s fall asleep by the lake and watch the leaves fly away and maybe drink wine that tastes a little refined, play some songs that beat right against the heart and keep finding ways to really greet life amazed by every tweet by jays of blue that leap by faith into the color”
