A Now Well Rested Body-

"I have two big toes, two pinky toes And two bunions and I should I walk or run Where's my platform shoes Or should I just lay on my heels I have 2 eyes Yet, I see naught My pupils are not in class And my legs are restless Am I asleep I'm just laying on my heels I have a throat and a mouth and my vocal cords vibrate yeah! I have a speech impediment And I stutter And my breath is like warm butter I have 2 eyes A nose and a mouth Now all body functions rested I am infested with the sleep I rest I'm rested I'm just laying on my heels" "All body functions have stopped none of which are not moving don't be derailed I'm not fooling don't be saddened be glad because my true self is not here it's risen"~ 11/30/20 Written words by James Edward Lee Sr © 2020
