Don't Mind If I Do


Grateful Dead: ~~Dark Star~~Morning Dew...12/15/72



Jesus got up one day
a little later than usual.
He had been
dreaming so deep
there was nothing
left in his head.
What was it?
A nightmare,
dead bodies walking
all around him,
eyes rolled back,
skin falling off.
But he wasn't afraid of that.
It was a beautiful day.
How 'bout some coffee?
Don't mind if I do.
Take a little ride
on my donkey,
I love that donkey.
Hell, I love everybody.
