It is time now
I am only with myself
no more talking, no words
to say what is is or isn't
just a slightly higher moment
to confirm whatever I think
over costly drinks we discussed what is was(n't)
but now I am alone with these thoughts
no confirmation, no glory of assertion
merely speculation remains
now I sit here, and write
as if to tell you something you could not hear yourself
everybody under the thumb of another
that's how it is as we sit here
under the fancy world indoctrination of the conflicted fat man
you can judge *** at a glance
in the all-too-human world
shared brides, cultural matter-of-fact
they fold in on themselves and swing to Wednesday and Saturday nights
the dominant pattern is an item in the diet of thoughts
for as long as we have ritualized; who knows how long?
our theater; a mathematical dance of light, sound and spectacle
a pun reeling from it's own absurdity
endless laughter pours out of every theater
together we cannot help but be
a retreat from the brink
