Plant My Seed

The problem with modern day phrases.

I want to grow an apple tree with the seed from my apple

But there are so many places I could bury it

I just don’t know where to choose

I ask people where I should plant my seed

They look at me incredulously and say,

“Boy, you’re disgusting.

Wash your mouth out with soap.”

I’m confused and don’t understand

I watch them walk away

Curious as to why

I deserve this treatment today

 

Now I sit all alone on the curb

Knowing no one will help me

No one will help me with my apple tree

No one will help me plant my seed
