Nailing It
What’s it all about?
I'll tell you what it’s all about
It’s all about trying to make
sense out of things
Things like Gravity
Things like Love and Getting Even
Warfare
Things like Luck and Lust
Electromagnetism
Kryptonite
And degrees of madness
And setting the bar two pegs
higher than you can jump
Things like random acts of
compassion, and selfishness,
and being able to tell the difference
And what about Linda Rondstadt I
ask you
legs and roller skates and tracks that
make you want to bash your head
on the desk in sync, and hard, just to get
involved with the whole
fucking experience! Now there's
something to ponder on!!
And it’s about trying to make
sense out of God
And labradors and lesser life
forms
It’s about trying to make sense
out of the neverending background hum
of the dynamo, the Big Engine, like that
And I ask you this...
Do any of us get even close to nailing it?
Hard to say
Probably not
(Gee-zuz, I DO so love writing
this shit,
Fridays after lunch,
but I must go a touch easier
on the glasses of red stuff...
maybe)
