Kiss all your friends

Kiss all your friends
Give names to the inanimate
I’m telling you when the weeds start growing from your head again
You’ll remember your vow to never regret it

You stand before me in your garden, digging dirt to lay your tulip seeds beneath
Prancing around me as you scatter them fruitlessly
I almost want to flee
Until I watch as you hurdle to the ground rolling in the fresh soil
Giggling like the child you wish you could have been
I decide to join you

I think it’s such a shame how we’ve forgotten to play
Too worried about the consequences
Forgetting that this soil will wash easily from our clothes
