I'm fascinated
With the color
Of your eyes today
With what world
Is parallel with
This one today
And how my double
Selves are doing.
I'm utterly
Enthralled with
The whole business
Of living
And how some people
Can walk through
This world
Like beer
NASCAR
And women
Are the only
Important things
In their life
Besides Country
Music of course.
I am totally baffled
By how people
Can hate any
Other human beings
And still be
Completely self
Assured that they
Are still good
People because
They do.
I wonder how
We aren't going
To slowly self-select
Ourselves off
This planet
Because making money
Is more important
Than anything
Else.
I don't know
How they live
With themselves
Thinking its
Ok to steal from
Rich Burners
Because they are
Poor burners…
Other than fashioning
Themselves
To be modern
Robin-hoods…
They are not
Because they
Only give
To themselves.
How does this
Whole business
Work?
With babies
And children
And passing
On more than
Just genes but
The problems
Inherited through
Generations
Of abuse?
I have a fascination
With how it
Is possible
For love to
Survive all
This mess…
Because the
Good guys
Historically,
Don't always
Win…
Which is why
Above all
I am fascinated
By out collective
Hope that it
Will
Followed by
Our collective
Inaction
To ensure
It doesn't…
Which is why
I am sure
I am supposed
To prove
Them all
Wrong
With my Life.
