The Serpent Eating its Own Tail

Why do you keep following me?
If shadows were pink
Do you think
That echoes could wink?

Silent night
For want of light
I am the Sun
All is One
But for these noises
Choices
These voices

Why do you keep following me?

__________


Daffy Friends in High Places


Clouds can’t care
They don’t lie
It ain’t fair
Coz’ they sure can cry
And the sun can dance
But the moon can’t prance
It can only glance
At the cow that jumped over it
I can’t get over it
He sure can rumba
With some ants in his pants
All them stars add to the drama
Clad in the cat's pajama
Strutting the dotted polka
The heavenly stage is set
Suddenly, I feel just like
I’m in the middle of it
Don’t call the coroner
If I crawl into a corner
At the height of my moment
And melt

Best Not Quest

Notes after the blast.

Brother and Sister
Where is my country?
When I wasn't lazy
I poked 'round seven boulders' underbellies
and found it wasn't there

Are you my people?
If I was to tickle your nipples
Throw a Molotov cocktail
inside your armor
I shall soon see You for Who You Are

My anthems have melted into a sea of buttery beer
Some Big Fish are floating in it
They're dreaming of joining the circus
or forming a blues band when
they're not dying of thirst for meaning

I myself feel at home on top of a tree
These leaves are free
They do not need my notices
Too busy for the meaning of life
They are dancing to the beat of tribal boogie-woogie
