Ducks and whales float in the sky like clouds

Fluttering leaves swirl and swim in ocean waters,

Leeches and cockroaches dance, singing

At the top of their lungs while

Eyes spy nectarines and oranges in the darkness

Splashing in rain puddles of laughter.

The stars shine away the voice of Britney Spears

Off into the distance of the oncoming sunset…

Tall trees and the gentle breeze as we

Sit upon the smug smiles of the twigs beneath us

The prickly grass amidst snapping branches,

We hate crab apples
