Absent Minded

The RIDDLE to make EVERYONE "Smarter"

If there was one riddle
that could make you samarter
but i could not ever tell you
the answer, and i couldnt tell you the riddle,
but hope for someone smarter than myself
to see the riddle have it presented to you,
and like an impossible game of silence
and blind leading the blind
the world works on revealing the answer
to you.

But, it might take you a long time to see the answer,
and it might make you feel dumb in the end,
but, we're pretty sure many people have a good sense of humor.
and do not feel ashamed of your own human nature,
many things are completely and comprehensible
and one day you too may feel trapped,
for awhile
you might feel sad,
those are the minority,
most will survive
so be brave,
and for awhile you might feel like a fool,
I know the answer already
and when you discover it again
you may come to see me the believer
as the fool.

clueing you into the question is something I have yet to do
and i might never tell you the answer
but here goes the riddle

Something that happens in and to two things
It seems like it happens all the time,
but in the end its never possible in certain aspects
that describe time.
One time its only once,
and in a smaller amount it happens twice
In most lengthy periods of time it is impossible
except for in millions of years
60 seconds, and could you wait just one more of these....
stuck in the middle i'll bet,
but not where the Questions concerned.

Always in the form of the morning and evening
Primarily the DJ's don't know,
but the radio stations always give a hint in the fequency away
I'm sure Canada's leaders could give you an oblivious clue
Sold at gas stations and advertised on T.V.
That's the answer, but back to the question.

Well it's kind of a when but its asking you what..
It's definately about time and something of significance
and incredible that happens,
and just like the answer we don't always notice it.
It has nothing to do with Once in awhile
because the question is a contradiction of
all the time and never.
The first half is seperated with the word "but"
and the answer is not found within the second half,
but without it you would never find the answer.

If i were to write you a letter to give you the answer
we'd be cheating, and cursing ourselves, but i suppose
in most cases things can be turned around...
If that helps give you a sense of direction,

but still leaves you lost.

So that's the answer, back to the question....
It seems we all have our moments that this happens in
and the hours and years and decades are void of this experience,
which turns out to be a lie because it happens everyday
all the time, but can't be discovered
without the other half of the contradiction,
seeing the sway of profound truths and lies,
making wishes and memories forever.
Nothing to do with seconds really,
but more truth found in the thousands of years
this never happens in.
I suppose temper tantrums and poutings is one way of describing this scenario,
and in another time frames this parental curse justifies itself,
for with age we snap out of it faster...

The question within the question
is about happiness and compromise
a story of conditional abuse...
but thats delving deeper so i'll start by
surrendering to this battle
and learn how to behave with my own understandings
and comprehensions of rights and wrongs...

Something that happens oncein this
and twice in that but never ever comes true
in a big catch phrase
like when pigs fly
