Planting

i use words like psychedelic and I drink out of a Sigg bottle. does that make me a hippy?

imagine all the work we’d have to do

today i read a book that shows
how to turn a baby upside down
inside the womb

and you are seeing flowers in
even weeds bloom

whole coming through
in bright colors you wish
you could always see it
could find someone else like you
to see it too

that kind of vision might've come
from the moments of
too small or too young
or too blue

if I had a prayer it would be
that god would make me as
translucent as green leaves
with the sun behind me

to unfold and you would know
though

you’d be one at half your
age to grow old
