My Sestina

You don't have to tell everybody
the size of the enormous barn.
You can see it coming frim my old crap car.
I shouldn't have skipped my class
but I figured I would just read my book
while I wait for my lady under my favorite tree.

At the time, I was content under the tree.
I had perfect seclusion from everybody
but I could still see that enormous barn.
The sounds from it kept me from reading my book.
The voices certainly lacked any form of class
and kept talking amongst themselves about my car.

I was thinking "why would voices make fun of my car"
then suddenly the car's color matched the red colored barn.
Shortly after the same color appeared on the pages of my book
with that ta a likeness of the bark on my favorite tree.
It resembled the color of blood in everybody
regardless of race, religion, or social class.

I was definately ignorant today for not going to class
because I should be there and suffer like everybody,
but the mushrooms kicked in and said, "Seclusion's in the barn."
I'm waiting for my lady, hell, she'll see my car.
I assume she'll wait for me under the tree
and we would read and study my bloody book.

So I left my spot, and set down my old book.
As the color red dripped from the tree
I realized I was snafu and headed for my car.
So how come all of a sudden in front of me was the barn?
I shouldn't fight fate, I heard someone say in class
one day. You shouldn't either and that goes for everybody.

When young, I was the blunt of jokes for everybody.
You would assume that was the case in the barn
but I saw yellow and gold, like the leaves on a dying tree.
I felt like a character in a book
that was always missed when not in class.
Eat some of these and go drive your car.

I was being reborn in a barn a hundred yards from my car
while I skipped class to meet my lady under a tree,
you can't learn about everybody from a book.
