I fell off a cliff

a cliff so rotten

the soothing waves below

as the cedar trees did not speak

I dropped a car wreck, got my glass bag

on the conveyer belt on my way to

South America, French-Indo Europe

here we go, back and forth

Bobo chasing weed across lands

we dripped out of your speakers

laughing
