fairy godmother

Post by saw »

she tells me it's all about interpretation
analyzing reflections in puddles of breath....
you like to call the guy driving too slow
an idiot, but call the guy driving too fast
a maniac, that was Carlin's observation
not mine, the point is we all harbor
the same fugitive, we aid and abet prejudice
like a striped con on the lam dragging
a cannonball of self through the thicket
of his reality, looking in the middle of nowhere
for a decent mattress and something, someone
to bite, and there is plenty of room in the inn of ego
to be unhappy for a lifetime, but thankfully
my muse pushes me to write down my thoughts,
make drawings and doodles that record divine intervention
from every source willing to send me a signal, she does this
for me in the hope, like any good mother wishes,
I will turn out alright.

You'll keep me up at night with this. Thanks. Wow.
