I need this...
The swing of things
Always occupado
on the playground’s
dull staccato
the recess bell
just won’t yell
no kinder words
were spoken

to end this hell
of reveries
never to be broken
I need a ride
On its seat
The faster
Speeds away
The further
I go
the lesser I know
the central point
of beginning
of end
is hazy
is crazy
I guess I’m lazy to say
I need to sit on
the swing of things
And ride

Good to read you again here, Walt.  We're all on a ride
through this circle right?

I need to sit on the swing of things and ride. How cool is that line. Very cool indeed.
