I Forgot to Take My Schizo Pills: The Sleepy Dancing Duck Who Died, a surrealist poem written collaboratively by English Composition 102-1R1, Spring 2024 (Rachael Boseman, Cassidy Buchanan, Kaili Butler, Chloe Carbo, Kymbi Carpenter, Rhett Centanni, Joshua Eames, Andrea Eley, Elijah Green, Martin Nguyen, Victoria Oswald, Kohl Sippio, & Kyle St. Pierre)
Since the beginning of time, some people find use in being self- aware but I am somehow crippled by it. Never in a million years would I expect that from you, as if I ever cared about what a man thinks. Even though we met in ‘04, that was the time I cherished most. Before Ya-Mama! Your cat ran down the tree, after chasing a rat. While you dance, all I can think of is sleep. Because I’ve been the same height since 2023, my dog caught the flu. In the event that you hear shots, every alleyway you take will eventually lead you to death. If, while you dance, all I can think of is sleep, I love duck! As soon as I finish this essay about how no one knows how to square dance. When you call, our tandem unicycle. Every time we dance, there goes all my hard work down the drain. Until the bartender says “last call”, you shine brightly and fly higher than any dove. After we complete what is needed, everyone will meet Death at his door.

In the event that has transpired, some days are harder than others. My crib is a mess since last night. Our cat is stuck on the roof because I’m not feeling well. Watching the toast burn, that doesn’t make sense. I like chicken tenders on Tuesdays when the night dark wolf gets out. As soon as it’s ready, all I have is 7 dollars to my name. You can go to the bookstore for books even though the baby cries. Tere are a lot of people at the beach if the time is right. Your hair is so cute, as if I had time to do my hair today. Every time the Pelicans win, no one likes a suck-ass. When the band stops playing, each one is different but still similar. Never will I bet on the 49ers again, until you pay me. Everyone is going crazy today after all that tossing and turning.
