I don’t wanna get a tan.
Peeling like a lizard,
painted red (red),
crimson (red) red (red).
I’m not against going outside.
It’s fun, bright, and warm, and besides
that Vitamin D is nice.
You know,
it doesn’t taste like oranges though
(red) oranges.
Just sun.
(red) sun.
But oversaturation of the ultra-violent ray beams starts to take a toll and then I’ll have some constellation to remind me.
(The sand, and the wind, and the waves, and Sun.)
Got my bucket in my hands.
Gonna shape the sand.
A tower here and maybe a moat.
It’ll be better than most.
Wind swirling hair in my face,
blowing umbrellas away.
Look up and then I run toward
the waves racing back and forth.
I’m the only fish in the ocean;
the others are beached with their lotion.
Sun shining on my back:
the friendliest attack.
It’s the art of lying still.
Browning like potatoes,
sort of crisp. (crispy lizard)
Why would I spend all my time
making my skin so leathery?
(so leathery red)
Won’t ask again. Don’t bother me.
So leathery.
Don’t bother me.
Do not bother me with your leathery skin.
Do not bother me with your leathery skin.
Do not bother me with your leathery skin.
Do not bother me with your leathery skin.
Hahahahahaha.
Ha. Hahaha. Ha. Ha.
Haha. HA. Haha. HA. Haha. HA.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
My momma said
to always be a good boy (a good boy)
and to never play with guns (guns).
Too late!
Oh well.
Yo momma, she said,
She said, she said, she said….
She said “What?!” (What?!)
Whatchyo momma say,
she said, she said, she said….
She said, “I’m busy!” (what?!)
“I’m busy.
Get out of my sun.
I need my Vitamin D.”
I read about a solar-powered lizard on the rocks.
Scurry.
I read about a solar-powered lizard on the rocks.
I thought how odd it is to be still to be crisp to impress.

Not for the lizard, just for us, it’s surely about time to get up
SCURRY!
