Beyond Reason

Let us hide in the gaps
Of languages. Where our 
Emotions are untouched and 
Undefined.

Life beyond four letters,
Livelihood beyond 
The day-to-day stutter.

If there's a word for a
Yearning for a non-existent 
Home, let's skip it.

And for the smell of rain
After touching scorched soil.
Let's forget it.

There must be some language 
Of the world where,
They might not have confined 

The meaning of love yet.
A longing that isn't limited 
To mortal sensibilities.

Let's outgrow what we can
Speak and read and touch.
Let's outgrow what we can

Feel and express. 
They say, beyond the shackles 
Of logic and reasoning,

There's a marijuana field. 
I'll roll for you, you roll for me. 
We'll smoke up the earth to 

Call it an apocalypse.
