Refrain

Life ain't so bad...

A hell of a long way from

anywhere

I thought I'd be,

wherever that is...

Who was it that said

we're always

chasing something?

Well, whoever

decided that this

finite stretch of

bumps and grinds

is anything more than

a march

had it way to hell

wrong.

Best keep movin,

before I break

into song.

FLY

...and wait...
There. Just a dream away,
another ring...
Forty, maybe fifty feet,
separated from a sure thing
by that fast water
in between
point A and
Point B.
From my knee
and the prayer
is said...
...turning over
dead on
in the calm
and through
my breath I see
another ring
pulling on me.

Foe Pah

Yikes!

Where does it say that you

(or I)

within this realm

have the right

to die inside

over unspoken words?

Affect

... and I'm not even sure anymore
where it is this is all going
not like before (when I wasn't sure)
as in maybe it doesn't matter
but it'll be all right
even though I had ( or have) no reason to
believe otherwise?
I've got this niche carved out
way up there (POINTING),
with just enough room
for me and my old Toshiba.
I get signals from vanity
center every now and then,
but the screen's gone black
and I can't remember
how it was I came to be
here, or when
it's time to leave.
When is it time to leave?
