on the way to next world

What do I do when it's almost two?
paint the town in blue suede shoes
faint on the doorstep of a close friend
say I'll never leave you till the very end?

What do I do when it's three?
mint coinage on a currency spree
print a collection of hockey cards
or fill my gut with chicken lard..


But I can enjoy myself from two to three
extend that thrill through the day, ya see
I yearn to live the American fast food way
to support the corporate glut mainstay....


Years pass and still I plan for tomorrow
to plow the fields and bury my sorrow...
I learned to tell the time from the early grades
but never learned to think for myself, I'm afraid...

Writing a little at 2 am?
I know about that, all sweet and sour.

Martin, this is a good poem that I found
back here on these back pages.
Back for another round.
