I am an earth-scented being
the funk of humanity
rolling home
from a trip around the sun
An earth-scented being
high on calamity
somewhat stoned
but still having fun
I imagine people and places
histories and races
monkeys with faces
money to buy
time to spend
a beginning and an end
I am an earth-scented being
high on humanity
rolling home
from a trip around the sun
An earth-scented being
a god who pretends
to divide the one attention
so that love can have friends
Won’t you be my friend?
