The Unconcious Trip
After a confrontation with ben an old friend
I managed to push the violent fight for later in the day
Two thirty pm, to be exact I say
Couldn’t even go to lunch with the group that day
Then Mark, a relatively new friend
Came and announced I was to move
He said it loud so everyone could stare
That I had lost my job I couldn’t work there
He explained later, he was doing this for proof
The cooks were kind
They asked me to help them carry the food
After someone mentioned one mango
had remained
they served my plate with rice and beef
They knew I had not eaten
It was all too much, It was all too sad
The place I worked, looked like home
My childhood home
The bed was too big
everything seemed so much
And Mark had been very clear
I needed to permanently clear
Carry it all
The strength of my will in this instance
Would not meet any demands of this nature
I settled on calling back *** my old boss later
Ben came in accompanied
by another foe taunting me
He talked of a staple in a trash can
I could see his muscle
Was it to put me together
After he dismantled me, I mean the stapler
Anyway he also felt bad for me
And just let me leave
Though he had prepared in so much violent detail
Mark was escorting me
I told him if we remained friends
I would tell him the story of that place
I really wished we would remain, friends
But our stories had come to an end
It used to be our home I told him with pride
The fence walls were insanely tall
Some parts were painted a yellow bright
The house itself was wooden on the outside
But the roof remained the same old rust blue
It was really heavy for me that afternoon
Once the gate was open
A couple of donkeys and a cow
And some big brown sheep
Were at the gate grazing
All of a sudden a donkey put its
Inside the cow's mouth
It was long and red and the cow really struggled
Blocking any way for me at that moment
The other donkey Joined in
It was hectic I had to find
another way to run away
At some point, I think they hit me in the struggles
I fell, turned to start running as fast as I could
They were others also running behind me
But the cow was now charging
I looked back, a feeble girl was just walking
On her head like a meme a strange statement
“when you don’t even know where to hide “
It said
Yet here I was still running for dear life
At this point at this moment
The spirit of the universe stopped shouting
I woke up and started jotting
A vision this powerful should not be forgotten
