Essentially

When did you plant words into earth?
Do you expect hearts and flowers?
Or was there some change since birth?
Literally oblivion towers.

Wake up and smell the coffee.
You’re out of it till then.
Look out the window and see mermaids.
Invite them in for a swim.

The best therapy is an image.
Take it and make it glide.
Whatever you see don’t test it.
Hop in and take a ride.

Get off when you feel like it.
Be tired or bored as a witch.
Fact or fiction don’t get mired.
Enlightenment comes with a switch.

Just lie and love when you feel like it.
Your guess is as good as mine.
Discover me after an accident.
Hello there Miss Valentine!

We were made to spot a tiger.
No explanation. Only hair on end.
I love you, my darling, with rigor.
This is a jungle. Let’s spend!

Put two and two together.
It’s the wonder of the day.
Birds of a feather match the weather.
Global warming’s in the way.      

We’re here without apologies.
More truth than all that lies.
Imagine where you came from.
Go to it with surprise!
