On planet ...J35U5...
Who knew.
Who’s to blame? For this...
Unimaginably complex DNA confusion
what started this ball rolling
and got this catastrophic wave in motion
and set us all here upon a collision course
with destiny, brought about this...
Chain of events we are swept into
like clouds are drawn forth by wind
do you ever, even wonder,
...how did this all begin?
As we do daily compromise
The integrity between us
Our damage control teams
Are professional... Adaptive
And concerned
Just that our coping strategies
Are not always compatible
Sensible enough
To get us through the spam
Of the events we share inadvertently
In our day to day lives
That show we really are
Capable, intact... in fact, on tract
Enlightened individuals, awakened to a loving sanity
About ourselves
And we care about the ones we claim,
To love
Good thing the sun
Doesn’t have to figure out
.
When to shine
.
The moon just rides its tract
Held in it's place since birth...
.
Having an influence, no doubt
By virtue of its delicate balance
In orbit around the earth
.
Who gave it reason?
...to turn the tides
.
.
.
.
There is no
co
ndition
al rea
l
i
ty
...between
You and i...
Despite, the fact
When we follow
Our assigned tasks
Through,
At this time,
We see them differently
.
And, too
The basis of
Our methodology
Of pursuit
Are as varied
As our views
That we entertain
Notions
Of compliance
Becoming mutually reliant
Even, while ...in defiance
Against conventional wisdom
Is remarkable...
Beyond the intellectual hurtles
Are the emotional undercurrents
Upon which we define our boundaries
Between friend and foe...
How we keep our friends,
Just close enough to keep
One another company
Undefined, yet still
Aligned, for purposes
Known and unknown
A fraternal bond
Which may?
Or may not ever
Be explored,
Further than at present
Hopefully, not to be taken
Too far beyond the breaking point
To be naturally restored,
Or fading so far back
Into obscurity
Below the threshold
Of the more
Familiar
Background noise
Just comfort zones
We adjust to...
.
Much like us
.
other animals adjust themselves
positionally orient and align
To get what sun
They feel the need to gain...
An affinity to maintain
To remain in close proximity
Throughout the day...
Just how does this get defined?
Who knows, how?
We will react
When we have
One another
All the time
.
You ask me
What in the name of heaven
Makes me tic and toc
Talk and walk
And why do...
i do the things i do
the way i do and do not do
on time
what you might do
when and if
you are so inclined
you ask me if i even care
i shrug my shoulders
and gently
make gestures
of bewilderment
pray tell...
when i have that answer
you'll be among
the first to know
after
i do the math
front, back and sideways
to ensure
it is
always the
truth...
it's said,
there's a light
at the end
of the tunnel
...just when,
will we see?
The light
