Sometimes I wonder

If I’m the only one like me

Living life

On a path shaped by the cruelties of destiny

Sometimes I wonder

What I’m meant to be

Will I vanquish dragons

And declare victory over demonic enemies?

Sometimes

Sometimes

Sometimes time slips

Right through my fingers

And I feel it run

Run away from me

Like a shadow living in fear of high noon

Like light bouncing off of the moon

Like a heart going boom boom boom

Downtown

Downtown is where I belong

Upside

To the downside

Flipside to the Flippy Cup

It runs down my throat

Intoxicating

Emancipating

Forever emulating

Freedom of Fate

Like photographs made from a coffee can

I know I can

I know I will

Be better than my former self

Don’t you know that’s true wealth?

Sometimes I wonder

Sometimes I blunder

But as I wonder of my blunders I can’t help but juggle

All the possibilities

Of simple tranquility

The color of roses

On stained glass

The taste of coffee

In a glass glass

You know we are all diamonds

Made to burn or outlast

I’m seeing visions

Either of the future or the past

Jumping in after

In Heroic Suicide

Atacamite your sands are shaping

Replacing

And recreating

To ask the question

Why?

Why am I here?

Who am I now?

Did I really come

From Nebulaic Clouds?

It’s a vexing question

That tears at me

As tears roll down

Gaia’s cheek

I sing to her soft and sweet

In her dreams

I tell her it alright

We’ll win this fight

For Her and Me

Sweep her off her feet

Like it’s Spring Cleaning

I do hope we meet

The first time again and again

Maybe she’ll tell me

Just who I am

And why I’m here

Right now I’m fuzzy focus

Then it’ll be quartzen clear

Like emotion conquers fear

Conquers tears

Conquers questions that have no derrière

Feeling nothing but love and beer

I wish I could say

That this is the end

But it’s just resewing the frays on the end
