about curly clouds and the egg yolk sun
and how reading a restaurant’s menu online
before getting to the restaurant is fun.
There will be lines in there about hair
and how you shave little wispies off my neck
and boopy doop doop ooooooh yeah
there will be death and dead things, oh heck,
but there will also be things like green grass
and Sunday afternoons with no plans,
dreaming of leaving next to the sea
and putting up with how much I hate sand.
