2004-07-01 - jackals & ostriches
forgive me. I indulge myself.
proclivity's a boulder shelf
and you might be a bolder self
affirming as you go
but I have found the solid wealth
a vein of golden mental health
a plethora of timely help
a secret that I know
all other loves must pale
and no it's not for sale
I know this will prevail
as mockers drop their chins
as sure's the time you're in
is yet within
and did begin
and has an end
a wet season
inside a vent
a desert sent
it came and went
an updraft from some rare event
it's geological
it's cause-mological
it's random closet bull
until you feel the pull
of gravity and random chance
a shrinking of your last year's pants
an ego soothing tribal dance
that mental thing we do
to skirt the vast milieu
the hurt that you pursue
somewhere in dreamlike dew
as darkness shrouds and mystery
will always haunt your history
like twisted demagoguery
attracts the physiognomy
the crack is sucking wind
there is a way to mend
I don't mean to offend
but deep inside the innermost
there is a vacancy of host
there's something missing from your toast
it's dry without the butter
as downstream salmon mutter
and yearn to spawn up yonder
it's got to make you wander
t'ward challenges and channels deep
four wheel ranges narrow, steep,
I pray the Lord your soul to keep
until you rise again
you know I'll be your friend
and that will take you higher
the ego can't conspire
this offer won't expire
you won't want to retire
the synapses will fire
a seratone empire
a city of desire
up from the muck and myre
that's more or less the thing
that truthful dreams would bring
and that's the song I sing
a little diddy ring
it kinda goes like this
be faithful and persist
as your own activist
let every active list
contain, that is consist,
of that which will insist
that you will coexist
with everyone you missed
and even those you dis'd
and let the winds of change
blow gently, rearrange
the times still yet to be
a brighter destiny
a tighter chilled out spree
that wide eternity
that distant shore we see
where we were meant to be
