Things can be learned,
In your sleep,
When the day adjourns,
Dream with one eye open,
For answers on fixing what’s broken.Â

Â
I’ll never forget,
What that black snake looked like,
He was kind of large,
With a baby- alligator-size bite,
And there to give me quite a fright.Â
Â
I spied him behind a tree,
And stood staring,
As he was kind of pretty,
With a wide band of reddish orange,
That looked like a belt,
That’s when I noticed his big snout,
Next thing I knew,
He had sidled up beside me,
And when I looked down,
I was not in the slightest alarmed,
I knew he would not manage any harm.Â
Â
When he opened that substantial mouth,
To try and take me down,
I stuffed my boot in,
Before he could commit the sin,
And that’s how I pinned him down,
With the bottom of his own evil grin.Â
Â
What did this all mean?
I’ve an idea,
Though I’m not gonna share,
But we shall wait and see,
As this one happened,
Just recently.Â
Â

Â
Not long ago,Â
Needing just a few more winks,
I hit snooze and was soon back asleep.Â
Â
Before you could say ‘Fucking A’,
Conversation struck,
Between myself and someone not a stranger,
But not yet in my friendship manger.Â
Â
It was totally bizarre,
We leaned against a little table,
Talking of this and that,
When an enchanting creature,
Happened to come into view.
As this charmer passed by,
My acquaintance’s voice turned sly,
And I was asked something that I reckon,
It’d be better not to mention.Â
Â
Let’s just say his answer,
Was just what I needed to hear,
As I was beginning to fear,
I had misinterpreted the message,
That had seemed so clear.Â
Â
Now I know,
It’s worth staying the course,
Though it was coming from a source,
I was unsure if I should endorse.Â
Â
********************
My perfect angel,
My fat furry child,
Up until you breathed your last,
You were crazy and wild.Â
Â
Of course I hoped you’d haunt me,
And then you came one night,
It was not in ghost form,
And you blew by even faster than the storm,
But I guess it was alright,
Since I heard you yourself say,
You’re in Heaven’s stables,
And we shall meet again one day.Â
Â
********************Â
Â
Oh my lord people,
I know this shit sounds mad,
And may make no sense to you,
But it is my guiding light,
They may not be sugar plums,
But those insane visions,
Give an honest glimpse of what’s to come.Â
