Hippocampus marmalade
With dulcimer thumping aftershave,
Deviated personality
Turned treble beats of innocent.
Shaded eyes to halt the burn,
Standing in the mental wreckage
Let’s not get lost in anything but the now,
it’s here and the past is gone,
choose a path and walk the road,
no more forcing a needle,
just be excitedly grateful,
truly joyful,
hold that happy,
and smile,
no matter how.
