Fertilizer - A Poem

I think I'm gonna put fertilizer in my room

Buy bags from Home Depot and cover my floors

(I've never been crazy about my rug anyway)

I'm hoping it'll help me grow

I've heard it does the trick with crops

But my mom always said I'm like a mule: set in stone

unmoving


A huge jackass.


My best ideas come at night

And I haven't slept in days

It's why I'm buying the fertilizer.

Stepping into the dirt will help, I know it.


Muddied toes and soft steps

There'll be dirt under my fingernails from scratching at my head

I know it.

(I hope)

I know it.

(I'm on my fourth Redbull and it's acidic and I'm still waiting on the wings so I think the fertilizer is my next step)

I know it.
