i sit pondering by myself
alone in the big o world
on an old drop cloth
with green and blue latex paint
sniffing because of my
outrageous allergies
and plucking at
dark green grass

and i think to myself while sitting in the sun
Em G
think to myself while my nose will run

there is a squirrel climbing up a tree
a child playing in the grass
a rabbit eating a dirty carrot
a plane flying above
a bird chirping
and me.................
