Today

Today, I need to get run over
Today, I need to get stung by the bees
Today, I need to meet the parasite from the paradise
Today, I need to see what’s behind me
Today, I need to know the screams that called me
Today, I need to know who poisoned the devil
Today, I need to find the missing mom and son
Today, I need to help the crying spirit find its path
Today, I need to be alive
Today, I need to wake up at 12:00am
Today, I need to smell it
Today, I am here
Today, I need to blow out the unlit candles
Today, I need to eat the poison berries of life
Today, I need to sit, relax, and watch…
