Marshmallow Walls
So I had a free period second period,
you know,
the period that comes after first period
but it doesn’t come right before third period
ad hoc comes before that
when the whole high school has a universal free
But the universe isn’t free!
I am forced to spend my 40 minutes
that they so wrongly call free
sitting on a wooden bench
with no cushions
cuz the seniors stole our cushions
and the walls are hard
and the windows barricaded
and I wanna eat some fucking pizza
but only the rich kids can order pizza
cuz the universe ain’t free and neither is pizza.
But when I put on the headphones
that block the unfree noises
and turn on the music
and turn on me
at my happiest
...

And Courage will take our cushions back!
And the walls
which were so hard
become marshmallows
just as white as before
but now I can bang my head against it in despair
and instead of getting hemorrhaged
I get sticky!
I really need to bang my head
cuz there’s no despair
when I become free of the universe
but I’ll bang my head just the same
as I do a pretty pretty ballerina dance!
And joyously I will immerse myself
into sticky
Marshmallow!
but then the batteries will run out
and the men in black suits come
to straightjacket me
and fix my broken head
But I am not broken!
I am free!
Marshmallows wouldn’t ever harm me!
you won’t let me listen to my music anymore
But I can Recall the FREEDOM!!!
