Day Tripping
See the little boy by that tree.
I wonder what just happened to me?
Something happened on the other side of town.
Why are you going around wearing that frown?
Fractured flickers is a crack up in time.
Oh, how I wish that you were mine.
Let’s go see how much gold we can find.
My thoughts are spinning. I’m losing my mind.
Tell him to go to the little boys room.
Thoughts are flashing. Gone way too soon.
I know there was a bank robbery today.
Lost some money? You don’t say.
My thoughts are jumbled, jumping around.
I was so happy with the new love I found.
There was nothing. Just rocks and mud.
Relieve yourself properly. O.K. then bud.
Whoa,—– it is finally slowing down.
My thoughts are settling to the ground.
What a trip. Once is enough for me.
Let someone else drink that tea.
