i don’t blame you for dreaming of babies and boys

it’s natural, in our dna

it’s part of growing up

– I know that, I do.

it’s okay, I promise

dreaming of babies and boys is almost as natural as talking to the trees

we all grow up from the same place after all,

the roots

maybe that’s what you can find solace in: the roots

our roots.

the roots fed on rice cakes and theory

the ones that grew until they twisted together into a beanstalk, lifting us high up into the sky

until we could sit criss-cross-applesauce with the stars

talking to the man in the moon

we serenaded him

i’m not convinced there ever lived a man more flattered

i hope one day you find a man as good as him

he listened to us and never said a word

we were satisfied then

so maybe we can be now
