Trail



To my chagrin
Passed again
By a guppy grin
Goldfish in a
Water bong
Yvonne on point
Tracking a pony
That runs faster
Than aerobic Dinobi
Barely ahead of
Gandalf Kangaroo
On a cliff waiting
For lions and tigers and bears
Oh sigh
Squished by boulders
Everytime they try
To capture the hill
Fly a flag, plant a totem
On sacred ground
Lose a scrotum
Here or there that's okay
Just keep going
It's free to play.

Just another weed in the crack of a parched lifeless piece of the rock. http://youtu.be/6mRcA1ybO9U more…
