A Big Mistake I'Ve Lived Happily Ever After

---A big mistake and a parallel universe School days filled with endangered species cumulonimbus inchworms by the feet And whale songs sung in the deep waters After the fire whirlpools of six degrees of separation Are ruby slippers on the grand plan, of walking cliff hanging I am grateful so ever thankful Of fond brain teaser big news of Good Fortune Listen carefully I feel rich soil planted produces pearls lacquer It was good while it lasted from best to worse As the grass Is always greener fig leaf ginkgo biloba glaciers under the full moon Green With envy there's no place like home looking good Magarita skyscrapers mix beverages stirred with lightning blackberry tea In puddles of sugar filled with raisins and plums My thirst and hunger quakes as I resuscitate, regurgitating my fractured being And my just in a twisted strangled dream and my dreaming smells of cedar chest Corporal open metals grass stained Nike pearl white shoes Skimming through the four leaf clovers forget me Nots And as his nightmare seems to be over I open mine eyes and I see slowly that -alas I have lived happily ever after? 11/26/20 Written words by James Edward Lee Sr © 2020
