It doesn’t feel high until
You look over the edge.
Why do people die falling out of bed?

Sometimes I’m profound
But I forget to write it down
My right ear’s losing sound
I only speak softer

Friendship necklace for one
Maybe she’d wear it if it was a 27 pun
Sometimes I feel gagged
I wish I had a blue jacket

The Queen she kneels at my feet
I drink her honey cuz I don’t eat
Lick my toes, take my pain away
Help me stay awake
What day is it today?
