Let’s be…

is it okay to lose your mind?
there’s a lot that i should say
but i have lost the thought to
another thought and another.

what time should we check the time?
you would be flushed away
if your shoe slips on a canoe
you may be lucky to become an ancestor.

what does it mean to receive flowers?
how long before it would decay
this one is just to woo
you into some sort of batter

i was born on a Friday
this news means nothing in Timbuktu
