Wait, What?

Wait, What?

I was walking in the woods today
in the crowded city lot
I picked up a nut off the street
and planted it in the plot

It grew into a trunk
in which I carried trees
Until there was a bolt
that hit, with speed and ease.

I used the bolt to fix it
the leg, that is, you see
The woman thanked me
and walked off to sea

And her son was happy
shining in the sky
And her daughter, so happy
That she was to fly!

The customers tried to swat her
as she buzzed around the hole
for they needed the bathroom
and there was no door to their goal

There was a heart on a metal tray
meant for the patient in the bed
she took a bite and loved it so
One heart and she was fed

Red pooled on the floor below
in the kitchen with the man
his knife held high, he blinked
I wanted plum, not a tomato can!

I sat in the room with a paper
and stared at the wall instead
Lordy, Lordy, what strange things
that you've placed inside my head!
