Freewrite: "Pinapple (kinda) Express", by bonzopoe

A couple of years ago, I came across many "poems" on various platforms that, at least to me, made no sense at all, and seemed to be made by some program that threw random sentences into paragraphs. One day I found the most bizarre of all under the man from "Pinapple Express", like the movie by Seth Rogen and James Franco, named after a type of marijuana of the same name.
The "poem" had such a bizarre paragraph that I copied it and kept it, as a curiosity, and now I've found it in my files by chance. I want to believe that it is so strange because of the reference to the marijuana from which it takes its name, I don't know what you think. I share it below.
Kit swims silently, pushing the gray wave,
under the cry of dead babies,
and the hippos circle around the scene.
Reading it again, the idea occurred to me to try to write something out of those sentences, which although cryptic, would make some sense, and the result was the following. I hope you like it.
Pinapple (kinda) Express
that like twinkling planets
mark the rhythm of my life in the distance,
just as the moon controls the tides.
pushing the gray wave of nostalgia,
and then lick my tears
while he tries with her tail to scare away the darkness.
as guardian of my dreams,
as a companion of my nightmares,
as a guard of the cage in which your memory lives.
under the cries of the dead babies we had,
because we could never give birth to a tomorrow together
no matter how hard we try.
in the middle of this zoo where all my beasts live,
while the monkeys howl as if crying your name,
and the hippos circle around the scene.
that lead to your memory,
mixing reality and fantasy
in ever-changing forms,
'cause I don't really need this Pinapple Express
to fly back to your universe,
I just need to close my eyes and look at you...
as usual.
Thank you very much for reading this post and dedicating a moment of your time. Until next time and remember to leave a comment.
