life’s a squeeze
a temporal sneeze
between one infinity and the next
which sounds complex
but it’s not
it’s just the universe is all we’ve got
and doesn’t much care
whether we’re there
to talk about it or not

the whole thing’s over before it starts
so try not to take it to heart
like twitchy cowboys shooting in the dark
c’mon – they’re cacti, guys
this shit shouldn’t be a surprise
in a semi-arid environment
why’d ya have to be so violent?

my point is
the joint is
what you might call temporary
consciousness complimentary
all we ever really have is THE NOW
which unfortunately just went
but I’m sure another is imminent
