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
