Red Right Return
· poetry

My origin do I yearn
The place from which I set out on my journey Long ago
I follow the path with only what I came here with
Red right return
Before I packed all of the useless things along the way
The brainwashing attempts to scrub me clean
I’m a dirty monkey and that’s how I want to be
Monkey shines all day
I’ll stay in the sun til I burn
Just how I like it
I push to all the limits until I do myself harm
Fueled by my boyish charm
Never changing who I am
For me there is no wrong turn
I’ve been on this path since birth
Running around the earth
Being me
Notes:
This was pure raw subconscious flow of words with no pretense or forethought. Probably the purest thing I’ve ever written. Truly me in the most fundamental sense of me. The poem itself is an example of its very meaning, in its own words. It wrote itself from the deepest depths of my mind.
