why do you torture me?

spring is back
the earth's endless playing track
consists of a melodious reading
of poems, all by heart, all leading
into the new era, a new age, new zach

the silence is admirable, serene, calm, tranquil
it's the best thing i've had since i came here, i will
indulge in its unwavering quiet, its endless hush
because in this state, in this mind, i needn't ever rush
i have all the time in the world, allow me to swallow that pill

returning never felt so good
it's harder than some viridian foliage in the woods
i gotta prove that this won't be squandered, that this time
i'll be able to rhyme sublimely without grime being prime
i'm going out today, so could you grab my hood?
