earth school

reality
is earth school jesters
with wry senses of humor,
charismatic coquettes
sent to slap your chakras
'cross their ass cheeks
awaken the idle receptors
sitting in a basket by the front door
alongside the daily junk mail
we all need a little ice water
from time to time, over the head
the doldrums aren't congas or bongos
but they can be played
if you're clever and open
to visitors in the night sky
voices in the autumnal daze
when leaves of paralysis fall
to decompose,
the glorious cycle of rebirth....
my church is the forest, the pews
are trampled earth, the choir are avian
cardinals, not the stuffy red robes of dead religions
the sermons are delivered in LSD clouds,
psylisibin sunlight filtered through pine
you won't be saddled by crippling debt
earth school is free, so lace up your boots
grab your walking stick
leave your clingy ennui in the La-Z-Boy,
listen for the school bell in your skull
don't be a tardy fool.....
hit the ground hiking
left right left right left, leave
the minions of trumpland and CNN
for the woodsy aroma
of real life....
fuck the air fresheners hanging
from the rear view mirrors of substitute teachers
