Attitude.

Now say the word,
silently
no-thought.

Now whisper it in syllables,
don't think about an audience.

Say it aloud in normal tones,
and try to add inflection in
places stressed unusual--
again? That's just a test.

Now get up and exercise.
(Jumping jacks are fine.)
Make that word a mantra and
just scream it in your mind.

Imagine it enpunctuate-
"Attitude?" (The answer's"yes".)
So answer in affirmative:
"Attitude." Now nod your head.

Spend a good amount of time
enunciating this--
holler, whisper it, and whine.
Then thump (or clutch) your chest.

Someone will, eventually,
ask you, "What the heck?"
Just shrug and say, "I'm tawkin, here."
(And that's a Hoffman test.)

The world? It does not need to know
the method thus revealed;
for being like Chris Walken
is about controlling zeal.

It's all about that "attitude"--
(or a creepy lack of it)
Smile and leave 'em wondering
regarding your intent.

Don't let 'em call you crazy-
and don't eat the seroquel.
Just scream the word until you're heard
by your authentic self.

"It's attitude, I tell ya, son!"
and yes you do know how to dance.
Just fake it--yes, yanno you can--
(the key is to go slow, then fast.)

Channeling the Christopher
is quite a useful tool.
It's all about that attitude--
the courage to break rules.

Study him and you shall see
agreement of the fact:
Walken's art is obstinate
refusal to react.
