OKAY

LOVE DRUNK AND COMPLETELY SOBER

ON THE NIGHT OF THE LAST FULL MOON

OF THIS PARTICULAR DECADE;

WHY ARE WE MAKING THIS SUCH A BIG DEAL

IT’S BECAUSE WE’RE HUMAN OKAY

WHEN I SEE MY LIFE I SEE IT FROM A

DOUBLE DECKER BUS AND HEAR IT

BEING PROPELLED FROM A MEGA PHONE OF LOVE

WHAT COLOR WAS YOUR FAVORITE?

IS IT WRITTEN ON A WORK SHEET IN A BOX?

CERTAINLY IT EXISTS IN AN ATTIC SOMEWHERE

WE MUST FIND IT

IT IS ESSENTIAL TO THE MISSION

LET’S NOT DISCUSS THE MISSION HERE

DON’T ASK ME WHY

I’M NOT IN CHARGE HERE

I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHO IS WRITING THIS POEM

CAN I CALL IT THAT

IS THAT OKAY EVERYONE

I’M JUST TOUCH DRUNK

OKAY
