can't wait

"can't wait!!"...
feel the rush
feel the gush
that comes with saying it
CAN'T wait
won't wait,more likely
don't want to,it's tru
but those words just won't do
they beg one to argue
they polarize some two
no empathy for you
.... unless you
CAN'T WAIT
...
so go

finally

here and now
could it be otherwise?
then and there
is here and now too
or here and now two
but now non the less
and here to confess
there's only here
in the now
in the know,now
and of course
the now knows
there's no know
without now
...ya know?
now?
at last!
finally
now

JANUARY RAINS

A WINTER'S DAY
I CAN HEAR PAUL SIMON
"DEEP AND
DARK "
BUT JANUARY
WITH NO ARK
FOR THE FLOODS
JUST A ROCK
AMID THE SUDS
AN ISLAND
IN THE SUDS
NOT THE SUN
ABSENT FUN
ALONE
ABSENT LONELY
BUT ALONE
LISTENING

WORDS

WORDS
CAN BE LIKE TURDS
AND JUST LIE THERE
ANONYMOUSLY
UNANIMOUSLY ANONYMOUSLY OF COURSE
ELSE NO ONE ELSE WOULD KNOW
BUT RATHER MIGHT SEE
THEM GO IN THE FLOW.
AS ABOVE SO BELOW
IT MAY GO.
WORDS
CAN BE LIKE HERDS
ALWAYS IN GROUPS
FLOWINGTHROUGH HOOPS
OF THOUGHT
OR THOUGHTLESSLY
UNKNOWINGLY REACTIVELY
GOING ON FLOWING
AS THOUGH KNOWING
AS THOUGH AWARE
SENTIENT
THINKING
DO WORDS THINK?
THE ONES I SPEAK
SOMETIMES
SEEM TO
SEEM TO HAVE LIFE OF THIER OWN
SEEM TO HAVE JUST BEEN BLOWN
IN ON THE BREEZE
FEATHERS IN THE WINDS OF MY THOUGHTS
I THINK
TURDS FROM THE HERDS FROM WITHIN
I THINK
AS I BLINK
THOUGHTLESSLY
AND YAWN
AND BREATHE IN
MORE FEATHERS
(I DON'T LIKE THE IMAGE OF BREATHING
IN TURDS
OR HERDS
OR EVEN KURDS
JUST TOO ABSURD
FOR WORDS)

MORE OR

THUNDER
CAN BE ENLIGHTENING
IF YOU'RE CLOSE ENOUGH
BUT NOT
QUITE SO FRIGHTENING
IF YOU'RE PARTLY DEAF
AND JUST
ILLUMINATING
IF YOU'RE FAR ENOUGH
OR NEITHER
IF YOU'RE DEAF ENOUGH
AND BLIND ENOUGH
AND CLOSED
ENOUGH
AND TOUGH
ENOUGH
TO BE
LESS

OUCH

HEAD HURTS TODAY
WON'T GO AWAY
TRYING TO RELAX
INTO IT
TO GET
OUT OF IT
ANOTHER SEARCH FOR FREEDOM
IN THERE
OUT THERE
AROUND HERE
SOMEWHERE
