Instant enlightenment That is, is it All a lie Are you, am I Dressed to the nines In trendy design With no place to go And nothing to mind You read it here first For better or worst A modern-day phenomenon Packaged perfect to know Just add water You’re good to go Generational gibberish view Who spurned the denim devils In you Bluejean blueprints Attached to the past Of patterns and hues Sleeve Sloppy revealing Dribble drool feeling Seer suckered Taube tuckered Unrealing
Take your patchwork punch Take my cameo role Handheld scroll Gently Poked in a fire of woe Battle wounded warrior Drowning to Federations of fear Leagues of sometime, Somewhere Donuts of denigration Looking through the whole Of integration On a scout mission Wizards of wondering why Epiphanies abound. And in the morning light Silence is the only sound around Why wait to get it right?
Oh, preachy poser Pedantically put But please just shut-up If you can’t walk the walk Don’t talk the talk
Up a crazy lazy river Without a paddle or clue- And who Like instant pudding, I do Instant coffee, too Instant cake in a cup, Microwave ready Brew
Fear I’ve left something out And nothing will ever do The instant never needs To make-up to something new And you who Instantly knew
Don’t believe the story. It’s all a lie Even if it’s true Makes a good story But none of it’s you Story characters in drag In a romance novel or two Only love is real Or so I’ve been told Playing a part That never gets old Address the unaddressed Storied mess Behold
Shakespeare in a silk shirt Romeo is such a flirt Juliet’s without regret And yet While Lost in a speeding train of thought Took the window seat I bought Watching the living loving world Pass by
And I See waving at me Michael with a golden sword Protection from the lord. Up high How can this be?
Terrible, terrible low-down lying lizard Am I What of it? Pop-ups Worse than infomercials Role-playing rehearsals Characters complaining Insanely blaming Always trying to please Never at ease Never understanding But, I do But I lie. Commas go Commas die And Always a busy but.
I know I should But, I won’t I know I could But I don’t So, go away with your stuck-up sail It really is to no avail
Have you seen the broken bandage? Wrapped around your battered finger Bleeding ******* breaking Bad blood oozing From your packaged refusing Never mind it was a nice story but was it true I never lied to you I never lied to you I never would
I conjured you Like genie in a bottle of ***** Intoxicated by a vision of you
I know you aren’t doing well Do tell You won’t let anyone help Don’t balk in blue Think it true Because you think you are Only you Because you are Scared of what might be Scared the story might be true You could be me Or I could be you
Because the story and the storyteller are one An Escher drawing Drawing itself In two Two peas in a prissy pod Pleasing
Have you reconciled your fiction? Or is this an addiction Affliction come true
Your magical silver moon swaying Your chalice of still stars staying Cups of fantasy flowing Sun spraying days Tiptoeing Ways Neither Friend nor foe I’ll never know
Remember the story Do you remember I remember Nothing’s changed Tempestuous tweets Trilling thoughts of verses sweet For better or worse If you follow me forever I will follow you. +- Forever Feels like a tall story It’s a leap of faith Not a leap off a ten-foot story
