What do you think of this poem? no, i didnt write it. i just like it. please dont respond saying "too long"

hes a lonely planet


dont stir and wake


everythings ok


give or take


the cats got the canary spinning in its ribcage


did i mention i came dressed for the intervention


(and if you were dying soon would you try to find snow in the deep summer


the june bugs dancing in wonder


and i still wonder now


if my words will stil turn you inside out)


hes a honeyjar


with that pretty face, lets never lose the lid


and keep those rosey lips in


(he breathes wet through insect eyes)


in multiples of four, no less than sixteen


mr. sandmans been showing his beam


when he walks into a room the walls lean in to listen


keep a calendar this way youll know the last time you came through


oh.


"i know what youre going through"


well i dont- its more of a "paper or plastic" grocery store choice to me


but ill sympathize with anything to get through to you


do you know what its like to watch reruns of yourself night after night


to offer nothing and expect everything in return


to c*ck your head just right to appear arrogantly humble


if we hurry well make the morning edition


cos everybody likes to read the bad news


theyve tapped the phone be very careful what you say


speak in code about singing birds and sleepy eyed women


autographs only taught me how to conterfeit signatures on my prescriptions


his heads a junkyard for rusted midnight thoughts


hes criminally carefree


when the pills swallow the worry


hes digging like forty nine


hes making you press rewind


hes a thunderstorm so bright you shut your eyes


he is a hurricane
