Where Is My Mind

My thumbs in my mouth as saliva drips out taste like there's dirt in my finger nail look at my hand, the others are clean but one is painted by that Asian girl I met last night ...don't know what type of Asian she is... Chinese, Taiwanese, Japanese, Philippine ....um...what are the other ones? My heads on the ground and my hair is intermingling with the grass I guess they're talking about the feeling of being chopped up I feel pretty chopped up, in the inside I mean If that was a visual, I'd be dead...right? Like the fish I see in the sky that can't be right, cause fish can't fly they must be angel fish then...hahahaha My thumbs in my mouth as saliva drips out and the sun is out but the stars keep buzzing they kinda fly towards and whiz pass me taunting little bastards, they know I'm trying to catch them I think I tried to sell my soul to the devil as a kid so I could get all I want Wrote him a note and everything and buried it underground good thing I didn't dig too deep cause a second later I got scared and ripped it apart... My nail has that ying and yang thing painted on it Good has some evil in it and Evil has some good and that's the balance of the world right? Like I think its evil that my dog died as a puppy but the good in it is that he'll be part of the earth And people that fall in love have something to live for cause they have each other, but the evil of it is they care mostly for themselves so its selfish ...hmm...I think I messed that theory up... My thumbs in my mouth as saliva drips out and I feel like I'm swimming; without the use of limbs My heads on the ground and I'm pretty sure there's ants near by But I don't want to move, cause if I move I'll have to get up and when you usually get up, you have to do something and I'm kinda just enjoying talking to the sky even though she never answers back but I always did like the quite ones I put my hands in my pockets and I know there's nothing in it but myself so I guess that's something right? My thumbs in my mouth as saliva drips out and I wonder what that Asian girl is like Is she shy and smart like the stereo type If we were to go on the date she could help me tip the waitress right hmm... My thumbs in my mouth as saliva drips out and I hate living, but I love being alive...
