A unicorn peeing fruit punch
a fridge cooking cookies
socks flying to Figi
a fish drowning int water
taking a snake on a walk to a cooking class
a ghost getting hunted by a ghost
eggs getting cooked by a chicken
bus on a school bus to school
a salad on a diet
taking a fish on a walk to go tan
a plane in the air landing in a volcano
a soccer ball in flames
a bear flying
walking a snake
a fish making food
a cat driving
a dog lifting weights
a tiger flying to space
a horse making paper
a basketball reading a book
A tree swaying in the ash
lemonade pouring out milk
a field full of jellyfish
wood fire becoming fireworks
fireworks made of people
people shapeshifting into dinos
dinos made of little legos
little legos flying to casadilla
casadilla loving the moon
the moon becoming eggs
Would you be confused
if fish could walk
if cake was alive
if gravity broke.
if a shiny blue glass covered in kittens
became the next great singer.
If a grilled cheese became the world’s
best chef.
If way above the clouds
a piece of french toast started turning
clouds into cotton candy and started raining
chocolate milk.
If corn started to pop on its own.
if water was cholocate
if grass was blue
if the sky was pink
if the world was flat
if you could walk on walls
if pillows were gummy bears.
If your teacher turned into a cheetah
and started to run
if cats ruled the world.
French fries running from the lava pool of oil
French fries scared from the chefs working at McDonalds
scared of the customers who consume over 1,000 fries
the chef’s hat grew legs and arms and started running to a whale’s mouth
Spatula hitting the chef in sorrow for the food
burger throwing all the pencils at the chef
ketchup sauce squirting sauce on the chef
stove flying into the storm clouds
the microwave shouting 100 lbs of spiders
clock rotating over 400 times
floor running from the darkness in the chef’s heart
seasoning spitting out horses

I flew to a golden moon in space in
my dreams. A green sun is ablaze in
my UV vision. The timeline
is here and there but not current. I
live on a meteor for 3 years. I turned
purple. I invented a new day called
pasta day. I befriended an eldritch horror
being creature called pasta. The pasta
became long thick curls of hair. Pasta.
A little robot rabbit with glasses made us
pasta. The pasta grew to a waterfall. Pasta
floods my brain, slushing around inside.
PASTA.
A pink castle on a hill
am glad am
I that I explored
a marching band with
trumpets and tubas
slowly grazing across
the courtyard
a blue terrace with a
purple clock counting
the minutes till
doomsday
As the seconds do
lapse the marching band
gets too fast
their feet fumble. Jaws
stuck in a scream
and on the last second the
world falls beneath
a blanket of water
a second Atlantis
with rainbow fish
and the band does
get lost in the sediment
storm
and when the dust settles
there’s nothing left
but their flutes
being feverishly played
by the turtles
And many years later
the castle, now older, now greater
flourishes under the sea
with mermaid civilians
a sparkling cerulean
reflects of the summer sky breeze
I SWEAR I’M NOT LYING!!!
I did theses things for real trust me!
I made the roundest circle ever!
“Where?”
In a room full of boxes.
“…”
I discovered now money grows on trees!
“Where?”
The desert
“uhhh”
I RAN 200,000 MILES!
“…Where?”
In a pool of quicksand out in the forest.
“sigh.”
I discovered how the world ends!
“Whe—no how?”
at the end of the universe.
“Ok I know you—”
I ran on water!
“…do I really need to sa—”
under the sea.
Then you realized you were talking with a 10 year old the whole time
Then the writer realizes these locations make no sense…”the poem’s ruined!”
Then the reader realized…
Un dia me sente a estudiar sin ver videos
y sin escuchar musica por que tenia que terminar
rapido por que mi mama me estaba esperando
para cocinar juntas yo me apure a hacer
la tarea para hacer la comida y comer
rapido luego de comer yo me fue a dar
una ducha y luego me fue a dar mir
y no me pare a ver videos en la madrugada
ya que no me desperte en la madrugada
cuando sono la alarma en la mañana
me desperte sin ningun problema y me
metia a bañar sin ninguna flojera
I reflected on all the accomplishments this year I did,
I taught a gorilla to play piano,
that was challenging.
I showed a caveman my phone,
that was a while ago.
I got snapchat and tiktok,
in my dreams.
I won a record for being the first on the sun,
I got a little burned from that.
How likely is it that these
actually happened.
