can we be yellow
with blue hair
and every day
starts anew
like every other
leaving work
parked cars
paper bags
this week
like any other
starts with beer
I decide
to brew my own
accidentally
stir in opium
the whole town’s baked
even the old folks home
you join an anti-drugs thingy
get on the news
meet the president
maybe someone famous
that sort of thing
at home
I'm drinking my drug beer
falling over slides
you're so dissatisfied
with who I am
that you leave
this time for good
but when it ends
we stay together
evergreen
so, please
can we be yellow
