Mighty - by Hammond



Soggy here
dribbling rain
down my sweatshirt neck.

But that's normal for me
usually.

I'm here in the dank
to escape thoughts of Jeneva
Jeneva
Jeneva
who didn't say yes
when I asked
Jeneva
Jeneva
and it scares me that
I really thought
she might say yes.

So I came here
in the dank
to smear out my delusions
with slug slime and drips
down my sweatshirt.

But I found
I found
this beautiful thing,
yes, I said beautiful,
this strong bursting mushroom
perfect white
with gills like a new filter
pushing up a mound of earth
all by itself.

And look at where a mushroom comes from.

So I'm feeling
better
already.
