On Golden Retention Pond

Damn, Mario
it’s a lotta hard work

trying to relax
around this place.

The door don’t work
so you gotta go around

the side and fiddle
wit all kinda shit

then jump a fence
just to get

to the geese.
God forbid,

you forget the bread
’cause then

you gotta do it
all over again.

They’re from Canada
and they don’t play.
