pick a thought

stir up the punch
ask someone who knows
what might be for lunch
on the fly vision elite held the hand
edge of the only continent he knows
feet buried and hands raised to the sky
taking form for a moment as a big letter Y
and it’s the question perpetually asked
three digits on the hat
if there was one that still fit
like an epileptic rigor mortis style
he might have another still fit
exercise daily not a slack
he is still fit for any task
got a question just stop and ask
might wear a mask if I have sneak in
some might even cheat if they think they can’t win
what they need to retain some power
and the car I drive has a spot for a flower
or something peaceful to drown out the lies
if you look really quick from the front
it appears to have eyes
to stare down any one trying to push on up
remember half full or half empty
I knocked over the cup
from the window where I sat
watched the seasons change
all night long if I had to
no matter who thought it strange
it’s just the way it is
the TAO of who I am and may be
quick to pick a thought slam it
back forcefully in an erratic manner
as quick as thoughts pop out
like veins an addict might poke
and stick around long enough
might even find a joke hidden
down deep inside the serious nature of now
everyone still has confidence
we’ll make it somehow
but no one really knows when or how
to end the story up in smoke
or a blaze of glory
pick your poison while I pick up the pen
vision elite and moving
and done it again and over twice
compared to yesterday
today would be ice
to yesterdays fire
but let me inquire
a couple more questions
before time will expire
they let it happen above the law
help pick the new pope
and I will sit calmly
holding the end of this rope
what’s it tied to pulling too hard
pulled the new car up close in the backyard…
