Mushroom

Mushroom

I’m a mushroom...
Sitting in a dark place waiting for the moon to rise.
I’m a cockroach...
Living in a crack in a wall of the hall of the house that you paid too much for.
Please don’t turn the lights on.
I’m very fine thank you, happy as a lark.
Please don’t turn the lights on.
Anything can happen if you just let go.
Just let go.
Just let...go.

I’m a bat...
Hanging by my toes hiding from the light of day.
I’m a bullfrog...
Sitting in a puddle in a corner of the cellar of the house that you paid too much for.
Please don’t turn the lights on.
I’m very fine thank you, happy as a lark.
Please don’t turn the lights on.

Anything can happen if you only let imagination run where it wants to
go where it will.
All it amounts to is letting go.
Just let go of everything you think you know.


I’m a rat...
hiding in the backyard dreaming of a piece of cheese.
I’m a termite…
Polishing my teeth as I have a little feast on a tasty piece
of the house that you paid too much for.
Please don’t turn the lights on.
I’m very fine thank you, happy as a lark.
Please don’t turn the lights on.
Anything can happen if you just let go.
Just let go.
Just let...go.
