One Motif, Many Songs

In chasing
in circles
a belief in the present
a hope for the future
One could argue
Faith is the underlying motif
in God
and other science fiction

...

Never in repair

We are not trying for change
We are vying for applause
Jumping knowing we'll fall
in a second, minute or day
back into the sadness
that is our stable equilibrium

. . .

In Theory

On a friction less surface
with no external factors
and perfect conservation of energy
I'm doing real well in life.

Objects in Space

I find it difficult
to be objective
specially when the question
is me being the object
of your affection

. . .

well then

Sometimes things come to a head
and you get to kick and shout,
sometimes they just fizzle out

. . .

Pools and Puddles

If you pushed me into a pool
on a whim
so I could learn to swim
I'd forgive you
if you are wondering why
I'm not swimming in glory
it's because
you push me into puddles
asshole
and all it does
is get me dirty
and cranky

. . .

Unpause

Now that
drinks break
intermission
half time
holiday
vacation
college
and every other excuse
has come to an end
here I am
back at my console
back in the matrix

. . .
