NIGHT OF MY WRETCHEDNESS
Because you need to be somewhere
Because you need to be doing something
Because it's neither here nor there
Except for how it makes you feel
When you stop to think about it
Though you think too much about it
And in the end it doesn't make
A pitiable bit of difference
If you even think about it at all
Cuz you gotta be somewhere
All the time
Thinking about it or not
Total slug or genius
You are still gonna be right HERE
(don't try to be there
you can't be THERE
cuz I'M there
and no two bodies can occupy the same space
at the same time
if you get confused go to the map
that will obligingly point out: "You are HERE!")
Yep
Every fuken day
Of your life
It's right there
Staring you in your fat face
What to do
What to do
That's your existential dilemma
Punky
So think about it
THINK THINK THINK
But not too hard...
I wouldn't want to see
Your head explode

An existential dilemma, indeed. "Wherever you go, there you are." Smiles.
ReplyDeleteFunny how that works, eh Sherry?
DeleteKnow the feeling, Timo. As we used to say back in the day, 'everybody's gotta be somewhere, man." Of course, there's always the odd out of body experience, just to fake you out.
ReplyDeleteI can always count on you for some homespun wisdom, my witchy lady :)
DeleteThat's your existential dilemma
ReplyDeletePunky
ha! I love it. What a great conclusion.
Our common denominator, eh Kerry.
DeleteThat speaks to the heart of the human dilemma that I am working with right now. A new edgy take on Ram Das's Be Here Now.
ReplyDeleteLove the comparison, Colleen. lol It was one of my favorite books back in the day.
DeleteGoogle maps, and all the new gadgetry - always wants to know where you are... ;P
ReplyDeleteDon't tell them!
DeleteMaybe it's less a dilemma than an issue... after all it can end up pretty crowded with all the here's and there's
ReplyDelete...and everywheres.
DeleteYeah, I love the end of this too, Punky. Now don't go thinking TOO hard about all of this! There you are, right inside there, just you, in the end. Wait, just you, every damn day.
ReplyDeleteYou so get me--lol
DeleteInteresting
ReplyDeletemuch love...
Tanks, G.
