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
