Feign

Darling, dance like a dragonfly
     Even when narcolepsy sets in;
Fireflies will keep us awake,
     Watch me get lighthearted.
 
Moonlight over some pretty blue grass,—
Or the way the clouds hang like coral cauliflowers
In the sky when I see the world through different eyes,
     Notice how the praying mantises have so little to complain about outside?
 
Of the people who live there, I realize- the forest leaves will turn around,
     There is a new rule that you are breaking but you didn’t know existed!
Trees might yearn to find a carpet of herbage to magically fly away on.
