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

  1. An existential dilemma, indeed. "Wherever you go, there you are." Smiles.

  2. Know 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.

  4. That 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.

  5. Google maps, and all the new gadgetry - always wants to know where you are... ;P

  6. Maybe it's less a dilemma than an issue... after all it can end up pretty crowded with all the here's and there's

  7. Yeah, 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.
