Almonds

I don’t know why I like almonds so much
Going nuts
Crunch crunch
I don’t know why the caged bird sings
Or why he can’t just hold it in
Walnut, peach pit, peanut, primal
Peppercorn prairies,
Pine nuts, poppy seeds, almonds galore
Taste them taste them
Crunch some more
I don’t know the thing about almonds so much 
Maybe cuz they crunch like
	Seashells beneath my feet
Maybe cuz the salt sticks like 
	Sweat and the ocean
	From a day on the beach.
I don’t know why I like almonds so much
	Crunch crunch
Enough is enough
Of this purple daydream
Pecans of thunder
Send me to sleep
Crunch much?
