when you are alone
with your thoughts
and the sun is setting through your window.

Like now.
I am with my thoughts
of yesterday.
She is small

I am not.
She came to me for solace

I WOULD SAY TROPICAL LAND.

RAIN FOREST MAYBE.

“I’m bored and tired, hanging in this tree.”
Going to pack my bag and move to the States,
Live with Gus Gorilla, and hang out with his mates.
