Nature Trip

 I keep trying to stare at the grass

to see if it will grow.

It only grows when I look away.

Maybe it’s shy like me.

I only want to befriend it.

I guess we are both inexperienced.

If we become friends,

we could go on magical adventures.

We could jump through floral fairy rings

and end up on another plane.


The Queen of the Fairies

will send us on a noble quest,

to save the princess

and put the evil tanuki to rest.

The princess will be enthralled

by our acts of heroism.

She may even reward us.

Don’t worry, they’re humanoid!


Our adventures will be epic, like Gilgamesh.

They will be filled with provocative delusions and innocent sins.

We won’t be like Alice.

At the end of our journey,

we will move on with our lives.

Too much make-believe 

will sour future endeavors.

Please don’t ruin the surprise!
