THE DAY AFTER YESTERDAY


















How now
brown cow
I want to live
in the NOW.

Yes
I'll live for the moment
that's what I'll do
and blind myself
to all the rest
like Mister Magoo.

Hey, that was a good one...
it just went by so fast
it eluded my grasp.

WHOOSH--there's another!

and another
and another
and another

Now I'm spinning round
snatching wildly at nothing.

HEY-- c'mere ya li'l sumbitches!

How can I know
what living in the moment is like
when the moment is passing me by
in the blink of an eye?


That's an enigma
wrapped in a riddle
topped with a sigh.

Yesterday, today, and tomorrow
all vying for space inside my brain
it's driving me insane
and that is truly a pain

in

the

ASS.

Don't mean to be crass...

but it's making me crazy
think I'll just have to pass
and not think about it anymore.

Yeah, that's the ticket!

I just won't THINK
about it anymore.

I'll just stay quiet
and close my eyes
and get into the lotus position...

Damn!

Gonna have to master
that lotus position
one day...

Well
no time
like the PRESENT...
heh heh

OHM...OHM...

IN PRAISE OF SUNSHINE



The day
dawns grey
like all the older women
you see at the market
who have cut their hair
so short and ugly
for the sake of convenience
having tossed in the towel
on the notion of ever attracting a man again

it doesn't need to be
that cut and dried
someone told you
this is how you have to act
to act your age
sold you a bill of goods
and you bought it 
without looking at the price
all prim and proper
and by the book
so many people 
here
there
and everywhere
just trying to do the right thing
and fit into someone else's plan
for a world 
that's as bland
as an old grey day
but hey
it's no coincidence that back in the day
when people freed their minds
their hair got longer...

LET THE SUNSHINE IN!!!
