Poem

The world pops out to me

Disaster disaster disaster

All conversations noise pollution

Everyone a linguistic disaster

I take my stick figure to the woods

I shush shush shush

Why are my only friends trees

And the frog in my throat

My only real friend

Is a stick figure I erased

I carve his likeness on all the trees

I call him on a leaf

I’m trying for an ending

But this is an unsolvable thing

eco echoes (eco echoes (eco echoes) ) )

I’m shouting into a lake

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000GIVE ME YR NATURE

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000GIVE IT TO ME NOW

I take a tree by the throat

0000000000000000000000000000000000000PUT IT WHERE I CAN SEE

I rustle yr leaves

I pound on the sky

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000LET IT ALL COME OUT

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000LET IT ALL COME OUT

I’m swinging my noggin

I’m scratching my heart

0000000000000000000000000000000000000PUT IT WHERE I CAN SEE

 I’m clutching my pearls0000000000000000000000000GIVE IT TO ME NOW

0000000000000000000000000000000000000GIVE ME YR NATURE

I swallow my medicine
