a mellow look at a pillar of salt

tossing and turning a fast look
from where i see it
we’ve come a short way
from seashell haven
once upon a time
i crawled in crocodile backlash
chomping thru tempestuous waters
i leaped upon lily pads
in evolutionary fervour
survival! fit to be tied
i sighed onto the nearest beach
eating coconuts, washing potatoes
i found myself expanding my repertoire
two plus two, along the avenue
Noah! save me, baby
inching onwards
past ETs and UFOs
i tossed my 3rd eye in the basket
of charms
snake oiled and massaged
into Thai omega
back home to waters
calm with human refuse
Ganges holy
sanskrit ohm, we
levitated to ratrace space
workin the land
and paintin it grey
was it just yesterday
they told me not to turn around…?
and here i go
riskin it all
for a mellow look
and a pillar of salt
