Thoughts always free, call me Walden.

You don’t even know where the pond is

I get it tho, shit be hard to transcend

God damned us but now we on the mend

If you thinking bout me call me often.

If you want we can leave that’s an option

We keep hitting these speed bumps they cost us

My dreams got you saying I live an illusion

Well I guess I should be more assertive

Introverted I think deep so you can interpret

I been sitting at tables with fiends

Got me feeling like Dorothy P at the Algonquin

Viciously lining up topics

Conjuring verses I spit to be honest.

Unlearning first never quit till I’ve conquered

surreal poetry
