SIDE STEPPING AND MOVING ON IN SPITE OF PITFALLS-
I need to write some deep
Stuff
Like how people do not know how
Important it is
To
Know yourself
And
Think for yourself
And know that you
Are what you are
And even if they clone your cell
You are still uniquely you
Even if you are a bee
Accidentally landing on manure
Instead of the flower petal-
Off from which you fell
You are still a bee.
How deep is that-
You are not a fly
You are still a bee.
Find a stench that
Hallucinates strong
Like musk.
I need to write
Some deep stuff
Like ok they might
Chase, you away from the
Hive
You can still thrive-
Fly, bee- because you can!
Not because you smell
Differently.
Pollinate a mushroom
Growing on cow dung
Psychedelic mycelium
They will welcome you in
As they dance to your
Radiating colors.
Magic mushroom dust
And the scent of perfume
Yeah, that is some deep stuff.
