Helicopter Seeds/Life
Samaras
The winged seeds of maple trees
Break free
Spin down
To the floor
Past the Scarface blimp
‘THE WORLD IS YOURS’
Some become Seneca
Some sketch an exfil
With a pencil
Or alcohol
And Advil
Some spend 45 years compressed
At a desk
Spine=Slinky
Slave to the Outlook diary
Slave to the salary
Another casualty in the dead-eye gallery
Crushed by variable rate rape
Never germinate
The attrition of tradition
Turns good seeds bad
Food for mushrooms
Food for feeds
Food for zombies
Oh, pretty please, FATHER TREE
All my beautiful dreams became ‘coulda/woulda/shoulda beens’
Became WASTED! GTA5 scenes
On the Truman screen
Be that as it may
The fact remains
There are 2 universal truths for all helicopter seeds:
1: They fly
2: They fall.
