TIMING IS EVERYTHING
{ outstretched hands’ LAY-UP, G.O.A.T. STATUS}
Just as high as a kite flight on a windy day in The Windy City at Riis Park, flyin’ off a high dive
All or nothing is worse than dying after flying without wings, crushed bones and all that jive
Married a spell, to the beauty of being near a magnetic attraction that can’t release me to sky
I know it now, what I’d be without her, if she ever left me, life would go on down in hell’s lie.
Been where it’s all at, where’s it’s happening, where all the folks were hip and without flaw
In the in-crowd or at least rub their funny-bone elbows & move on to the ghetto of McGraw
Where I went from a lake to an ocean, from frozen tundra winter to tropical estuaries’ sin
Paradise moved me, it won’t move anyone else since everyone thinks this is all there is in.
Mind and body above and below the planetary dirt, burnt out cinders of a dead star we are
Silk thread from only God knows what poor plant or animal is woven into the robes of Pierre
Or Josie, if you will, anybody on Earth that’s naked from day one’s birthday, onto mortal rigor
Bums just gave up on the strife, seeing ahead of the present into the repeating time ala past
All winter through the Fall, slippin’ around an ellipse & surviving the wobble and full tilt’s skip
Makin’ the empty leap year every four years in payment for a natural frisbee flying double flip
Your deaf ears listen but only the deaf animals can hear the vibrato, irrepeatable trippin’ head
Ultraviolet lit to infrared and in between you see what you can never get out of, alive or dead.
Happiness may be peace of mind or a ham sandwich, eagles on down to the roaches and rats
Search brings every single, empty black hole everywhere in the Cosmos, suckin’ bloody bats
Empty of everything full of Nothing, open heart and mind ready or not, you all got to go now
No other way to go, forward or backward, either way the final target cannot be missed, so?
Still tried and pretended to care about the nature of the beasts and the things ahistorical & all
Knowing this and that without withholding a thing, wisdom’s essence, empty & dead air’s ball
Dad and mom, here and then we’re already all gone, you tried it, now then, it’s a victory song
Drilling way down deep into the surrounding left-over Big Bang dust, 6 feet under ain’t wrong!
Pours herself a neat and strong one after she reads up to here, it’s not gonna be much longer
Ending is happy, there’s no need to fret, it’ll all come out fine I the end, kids & pension swag
Up and coming down the scale, back to the lower baritone and back up to the alto soprano
You know you’ve got what it takes, it’s all our holy grail, don’t spill the beans you scallywag.
There’s no reason to the rhyme, yet the words of the plethora mock the Truth, a prose essay
Nothing to fear on Earth or anywhere else in the world of galaxies, cosmic dust of the weeds
Call them hayseeds from another world or just mutations of the original garden of Eve’s Eden
Adam had no sense of fearing the unknown, comfortable with a Void being all that there is.
Driving the team of horses in front of the stagecoach, pulling people on wooden wheel hubs
Life spent in a foreign land or the same city woods your kinfolk spawned from hot arse tubs
Dick and Jane swore to gods that comprehending language was all you needed to make it up
To the tip-top of the pile, better than competition, like cream y’all rise to the top trick’s cup.
Whiskey and gin in the jiggers, wastin’ my time wastin’ the fired-up pine, tomorrow arrives
As if yesterday fell off the Earth, unrecollected nonsense conjuring up epic Bulls#it bee hives
Losers get killed and some live until they’re nothing but broken & whacked honey, no jokes
Who cares about the facts of , forget about it, let God categorize the subjects of superman.
I got the kryptonite harmonized with my DNA, but now I can’t fly up and away, I’ve no lift
I need more power, access to the infinite plethora, storage place of all gas’ origins to rift
Continuation of the significance of seeing forms and the material diamonds and fool’s gold
As if you don’t remember, it’s your father’s call that you succeeded or not, man, I’m old.
Runnin’ out of the sweet nothings to whisper right through from ear to ear, down the road
Twist a few for the trip on the way, enjoy the forms and colors, formation and dissolution
Nothing lasts forever, enjoy the hops, skips and riffs on the way to the end of daylight, son
On the lam, runnin’ the dozens under a blanket’s deep cover, egad, joke’s on l’il ol’ me One.
