I Heard it on the Radio

Do rainbows smile?

I can feel my body tonight

trying to connect it to my mind and soul.

Do clouds wave?

Do waves laugh?

I am choosing life tonight

trying to connect it to happiness.

Do conscious minds ever stop hurting?

Do turtles fart?

I am taking now, and trying

to shape it into positivity.

Does light have a particular sense?

Does water tickle?

I am soothing the burning dry

and the wagging tongues.

Does peace have a colour?

Do you remember bliss?

I can sometimes chill, but

there's nothing like the first hit.

Would anyone bother to read my words

if I OD'd tonight?

Do roses cry?

I love in the absence of clarity.

Does sanity look like me?

Do I live in reality?

When ultramarine is such a tempting

respite and haven.

Does the imprint of a soul ever die?

Does life essence taste of anything?

The black dog that follows me has

doubled into happiness.

Does a dog's dream feel as real to them

as ours do to us?

Where do you go when you're unconscious?

And, how many stars does it take

to make a pin point in the void?
