Good morning my sweet
Ponderosa tree friend
Oh! Good morning bear.
Hi there, cute lil bear
I see you sniffing my car
Got no berries- get!
Seeking peace and calm,
I went down to the river
But I fell in- FUCK!

Lock your car, she said.
Rocks are slippery, she said.
I listened to one.
Dripping wet booty
Sopping journal, now I am
Inspired to write.
I yelled, “Oh fuck!”
When I could have said, “Oopsy!”
River, my teacher.
Kind words to myself
Harder than unripe apples
Falling from the tree
Sun, dry my pages
Don’t let those thoughtful words bleed.
Need them like water.
