I love the earth,

The trees,

The plants,

The life.

I love the earth,

The way the bugs buzz

The way the birds chirp,

The way the frogs croak.

I love the earth,

There was a narrow world

It had a narrow town

With lots narrow people

Everywhere around

And just down the street there was a narrow steeple

And all were going in this narrow church

To pray to a narrow god

It’s my birthday:

I wake up early

Because of nerves

Or maybe

It’s just random.

It’s my birthday:

I unwrap two presents

For every word I can’t say,

I try to write it down,

but at the end of the day,

I know I’ll never find the words.

They jumble together,

like the sunset’s melting colors.

For every excuse I make,
