NOWHERE MAN

I just...you know
stood there

leaning nonchalantly against
the universe

looking like I was
doing nothing.

But nothing was what
I wasn't doing.

I had found a tear
in the space-time continuum thingy

and with an elongated thumbnail
of my guitar picking hand

I widened  it bit by bit
until I could

disappear  
into it.

I doubled back
quick as a flash

to the past where
I could see my self

heading for
my future.

I told him not to
bother

he would only
become me.

This really scared him.
He didn't want to believe me.

He pretended I wasn't
there

lalalalala'd me.
God I hated when I did that.

Climbed the next step
of the creaky old stair.

Ahh well he can't say I
didn't warn him.

He had me
coming to him.

Serve us right!

Now where was that tear in the thingy?
Jaysus...I am...stuck here.

As if one wasn't
enough now there's two.

Donall Dempseys
loose in the world.

Can't remember now
which one am I?
