Sticks and Seeds

Depression. 
Sticks and seeds. 
You can only be as depressed as a mossy stone. 
Growls.
You move slowly, like dead. 
Treacherous?
Or just socks stuffed with free samples. 
Try to hold onto dead teeth. 
Depression is just burrows. 
Sticks, seeds, harsh chemicals, scraps, and jugs.
Not special.

I love the abstract nature of this. Nicely done, Angelica.
