Wouldn't you

Wouldn’t you get high

if you were always looking up

at troubled faces that do not care to know your name

if you are happy

if you are hungry

Wouldn’t you get high

if you slept with the birds

and needed a way to feel heard

Wouldn’t you get high

if a dry place became a fairy tale

Wouldn’t you get high

if people sharing 95% of your DNA

chose to pay for larger coffees

larger sandwiches

larger cokes

while you salivate over the idea of collecting rain drops

Wouldn’t you get high?
