“Danger, Will Robinson, Danger!”
There are rumours
that abound about
a little unauthorized creative thinking;
better be careful, might be true
somebody is thinking for themselves
gonna rock the boat
shake up the status quo
we have an established order here
someone’s trying to write poems
and make music and movies
and all the while
we still have to make a solid buck
put on your plaid shirt
make yourself suitable
for the community
and I’m here alone
I drank too much
did too many drugs
and wouldn’t get married
& in the end
there was no end
It was all just illusion
& it all went on again
I wasn’t watching the OJ trial
& I don’t know the name
of the first player selected
in the NFL draft
I tried to let my mind soar
I think of Thoreau and Blake
and Rimbaud & Nietzsche
make brief guest appearances
and the tv is turned off
and incense is burning
There might be something new tonight
for all to see
but I get the impression
that nobody will see
which is say to say
but truthful nevertheless
