the golden ticket

from now on
I am going to imagine
all the things that can't happen
so they will
because the status quo
is misery

watching the world
obliterate itself
is too fucking depressing

so come with me
on this ice cream brain freeze
while we roller skate
down hills on acid

it is summer
and I am a kid
my pockets are filled with candy
and rocks I have found
in the shape of things
no one else can see but me

I am walking small town streets
smelling ocean air
my fantasy is laced
in the latest book I have read,
charlie and the chocolate factory

everyone's favorite part is when
he finds the golden ticket
but my favorite part is how
all his grandparents lay in bed all day
and how grandpa joe
imagines all these wonderful realities
for charlie
while everyone else 
sadly subsists on cabbage soup

that was the real golden ticket
because we all know 
​willy wonka was a crazy asshole
