I grow on

Each day, I grow on

Like a traveller in an unknown territory

I grow on

 

Each succeeding morning has something new

But I grow on

Seed to plant

I grow on   

 

It is with difficulty that I grow on

I grow on to reality

 

From a newborn

To a child

To a boy

To a teen

 

I grow on

In the reality of daily bliss and chaos, a cloud of northern lights, some laughing gas, tick, tock, tick, tock, a bomb in time square, red devil sheet rocking bounciness, the gopher, the lettuce, dice rolling black sunshine, jolly pop hanging out with bombita, I grow on to the day I will need kiddie dope
