Life

By:  Bay, 6th grade

 

I woke up tomorrow

At 45 FM

I drank some cereal

And ate some juice

I combed my clothes

And put on my hair

I got a quick high

From a whiff of animosity

And a shot of pride

With my heart light

And my thoughts heavy

I walked to the street

And down the coffee shop

I ordered a cold cup of love

And a nice hot bowl of hatred

Just sat there and drank my hatred

Ate my love

And watched as the world stayed still

As I went by

Then everything moved

And I stopped

And I didn't find myself

Right back where I ended

Right at the day before yesterdays' tomorrow

And gave a small sigh

And a big shrug

And took a sniff of the animosity

Still lingering in the ground

And frowned

Life was fine the way it was
