Enjoy the mocking tick after tock from the clock as the hands race monotony just to land on a preoccupied spot, no over shot Reality not taught, reason is a subplot, lost in translation was the caveat, what's the grand plan for this life span time forgot Avoiding deaths cousin, the sandman, only shortened the journey to the grand finale at the bottom of a grave plot, a hateful fate fought Thought I ought not move to avoid falling through the bottom of all rock bottoms due to the dry rot, a quicksand sandbox in back of Salems lot Rescue or recovery a long shot, no one within earshot but there's an onslaught of inner dialogue piercing the void like the scream of a red hot teapot As is common with the distraught I sought help from the cold embrace of a slipknot that grew taut through the progression of this thrown together plot of a should've been cancelled pilot Don't ask me what I see in this blind study of an inkblot, any sanity you got would crumble if caught up in the web of nightmare fuel my own mind went ahead and brought Forced to boycott my being, can't connect good story lines, lost a dot, popped a squat in a thousand watt recliner like a pre-programmed self destruct robot Self-preservation an afterthought, miles out to sea before I realized I've not yet bought a yacht, treading water in a tough spot Messed around and got so high I got caught in the sky like a drifting astronaut lost in space, tethered to a dead cosmonaut A crackpot juggernaut of supreme disappointment, walk the walk and take a potshot at a what not to do mascot Cross my i's and dot t's with the underutilized comic sans faunt that don't nobody want, awoken by the taunt of a witching hour haunt "Fuuck the record and fuuck the people!" like you heard from Snot, you'll probably be hearing it from me a lot Before I become a forget-me-not long forgot but go or stay, either way, still dangerous as a traveling blood clot The good fight was not fought, this life was not sought, everyone seems to have it together, I'm the biggest have not on the block Do with that what you will, I'm going on a long walk down a short dock with a giant rock in each sock Then the plan is to mock god to his face and see the shock on his face as I say I could do better and see if I get the morning stars spot I mean, why not? It's worth a shot ©2023
