Foolhardy
i slipped up on the rose bush
the thorns were razor sharp
the queen of suspect warnings
sat silent playing on her harp
now im dripping on the weeds
and laying out my big blue tarp
my colossal hat adjusted
ever moving oh so slightly
nodding here, winking there
thoughts expressed so very lightly
the sun was bare upon my wound
exassurbating brightly
sprawled across the ground they lie
the reservations i had picked
dissolving in the open field
with the frosting i had licked
poor little empty cupcake
now so plain and simply panicked
i rested with the bean man
he knew all of my tales
he crossed his arms absurdly
and pitched untrodden sales
since he'd heard all of my anecdotes
our communication fails
my day in dull grey cotten
no more herioc than your plastic
i found frolicking in roses
because he thought it was fantastic
that the big machine that made us turn
was held together by elastic
