Hey remember that time
One time I saw a man die
But he was just sleeping
And when he woke up with a snort
I was just a little disappointed
One time I fell through a crack
And I landed in the center of the earth
And all the dinosaurs just smiled and said
‘Hang on to your youth, kid.’
One time the moon spoke to me
It told me the sun was a bully
I told the moon I needed the sun to live
It sighed and said ‘you too?’
One time I made a house out of dust
But my stuffed animals couldn’t fit inside
They looked at me, hands on hips and told me
I’d ruined everything
One time I met my hero in the supermarket
And she bought me a pack of cigarettes
I didn’t even know she smoked
But she told me she wanted to die
One time I had a tea party with death
He taught me how to fold napkins into flowers
I asked him if he knew the best way to die
But he laughed and said I was too late
