At times Im so preoccupied running I forget paying attention to where Im going At times Im so busy reaching ecstacy I forget paying attention to all other needs Weve all got our methods of survival These are mine Shoo away the annoying dandelion seeds Chase a katzenjammer violin up a tree Startle the birds so they take off With the entire lake in their feathers At times Im so busy avoiding trouble I forget paying attention to what I miss out on These everchanging methods of survival I may be too deep into the darkside But I know we need to be a bit naive as well One thing though how to regain naivete When already cynical? Have some bittersweets Theyre good for you Please help yourself to some bittersweets and light refreshments Paper aeroplanes crash into bottles spilling wine On flies hanging around washing their hands Maud lin flies reel all over the table when suddenly A turreen of soup tips over as the cloth woos and stretches for the sheets on the clothes line I need my escapism Ill hold on to it till I learn new methods of survival Somehow somehere sometime it will all be good
