before stutter-stepping in the hallway we were like two salmon on a date.

while crossing the stream we were two salmon going through a divorce.

don't judge me by the color of my skin. i've put my mouth on every pine branch
in yosemite national park.

we're it's oldest species of mammal. we're antique mammals, part of the 1/5th of the endangered mammals.

before inhaling the psycho-active cannabis we unroll all of the tape in the house.

the baby begins talking too early. we put the tape in a circle around the baby to curb the extinction of our species.

before we curb the extinction we didn't question our dependence on psycho-active cannabis.

before the baby talked grandma hung jack hammers on the wall and petted them with a pashmina.

before the jack hammers i fight grandma over all the take-out i eat. i put a bacon cheeseburger deluxe on the formica table. grandma jackhammers the cheeseburger into a slushy.

before i eat cheeseburgers i examine my emotional status and think ---- it, i'm a man.

before i become a man i bring a notebook and a deck of batman the movie trading cards in a backpack up a mountain in the adirondacks.

lightning strikes my grandfather and he screams 'JOKERRRRRRRRRRRR SUCKS!'

my grandfather loves mushrooms. some people think psycho-active people are stupid and they laugh at them.
