Take a second to think while you're running out the door.
Breathe a second then blink.
There's a world to explore.
Feet to the floor
then floor to the wall.
Take a millisecond to call.
Take a million to relax.
I'm hazy on these facts.
Did you
fall from the mountains?
Did you
crawl from the cave?
When you were dropped from the sky,
Did you partake in the rave?
When you were young
did they tell you to behave every-time?
I wave goodbye every line I cry.
I say good day every time I try to be kind I try to be nice.

Lice.
Lice lives on our heads while meds intervene.
I know it's all a mess. It's like studying a dream.
Depress... ing thoughts.
They're the things I fought.
You're the one I taught.
The true meaning of love doesn't come from above.
It comes from below.
Dig deep. Take the leap. I bestow upon to you. Take the plunge into the water.
Make sure the drop is true.
So the sheep said to the slaughter.
You take it, I pursue.
One, two.
One, two.
To a relationship.
Only if it's true do I take the dip.
Do I take the plunge.
For the one sponge for my dripping curiosity and attention.
For the one I would possess, retention.
I'm addicted. Intervention.
Will I be evicted?
Not if my intentions are true.
So I hope.
So still I am blue.
Blue but not sad.
After all I am studying the fad of a drop of water on a spider-web.

"After all, what's a life, anyway? We're born, we live a little while, we die."
or so the spider said.
(Charlotte's web)
So still I am blue. If not I would be dead.
But why this? Why that hue?
I'm a color, so are you.
Tit for tat and tat for fun.
What would you be?
What color would you have spun?
That's fun on the run.
That's fun for a fix.
That's fixing all my tricks with word play while you pick up sticks for the fire.
What I mean to say is this.
We could either ignite and burn higher and brighter than the brightest shade of red.
Or be blue.
This is what I think while you're lying in your bed.
