The Glass Mushroom
Blue with spots of purple
Is my glass mushroom
Nah
It has nothing to do with drugs
It¡¦s a memoir
Of my beloved Brittany
We ran as fast as we could
Into his yard
Grabbing everything we saw
And dashed in a flash
The only thing we were able to snatch
Were two glass mushrooms
One for Brittany
And one for me
When we were running
You could hear the mushroom top
Bang against the wooden stem
Making ourselves noticeably up to no good
We were gasping for breath
When we got to the end of the street
Looking back we saw no one chasing us
So we felt pretty dumb
We hid the mushrooms
In our book bags and headed home
I still have that mushroom
It¡¦s sitting on top of my lava lamp
Every time I look at it
I think of her
And I miss how things were

"I want to be an airborne ranger
I want to be an airborne ranger
Before the day I die
There are five things I want to ride
Bicycle, tricycle, automobile, Vernon's mother
And a Ferris wheel"
