ForestSelf portrait

• My hair is a vast plain for things to roam
• My eyes are like the murky depth beginning to
  pull you under
• My fingers are the worms that crawl through
  the dirt
• My finger nails are the invisible eyes and
  ears on those worms
• My heart holds life for me and my family while
  it beats for only me
• I live in the woods
• While scavenging for food

A day in sanfran cisco

• Of all the days
• Youve ever had this will best the best
• This day you control like a god
• No clouds no bads no fits
• The smell of chaos or fresh fish
• The taste of salt water or greasy pizza
• And like a happy little man
• You run around the boardwalk
• And eat all of the day
• Get novelty items
• while you taste and love the crab
• You look out at dark
• And see the lights go down like a sunset
• You hear the sirens going down
• After a full day
• In SanFrancisco
