Why Not Now

Somewhere deep inside hides an unwritten masterpiece
Where every word is steeped within the blue flame of desire
Where, within each spark, meaning is preserved inside the raging fire

Somewhere on along this labyrinth lies the twists of calligraphy
Where feet and heart and mind collide like a bullet into a body
Where hope, like a good friend, meets you at the end of each dying day

People like to say, "Son,
Someday…"

Somewhere someone spoke the first cliche
Where when if it feels good your must give in
Where a basket of eggs isn't worth a counting hen

I say, "Why not now?"
