What's it all about?

bydirtylover©

dynamic fluidity

butterfly flutters high
joint smoker, up in the sky
moonbeams - crystallised smoke
frog croak-s
        in the pond
something scurries and hurries
a million people worry
Hess goes wandering and wondering
lost like Mozart, concealed emotions
Shakespeares witches and potions
slaves sweat turned into pyramids
mountains moving, white on top
caves here and there
trepidation displaced with insipidity
joy and wonder, grey and old
young and free
shackled with emotional wounds
life hurtling sideways, directionless
a dog called what-a-mess
childhoods, growing up, growing old
touching reality, misplaced faith
spontaneous monotony, lacerating laughter
so many questions, too many answers
God, uni-, poly-
fats, diets, fads, fathers and dads
has the human race been had
by a cockroach in a mine in Utah?
flirtations with the bizzare
circular escapisms
write it all down
get it all out
figure out, what it's all about

Then realise...        

                 ...time must have a stop

breathe in, breathe out
breathe in, breathe out

I, for one, am convinced I know what it's all about,
and that is why I laugh and cry, and scream and shout

breathe in, breathe out
breathe in, breathe out

And then I've lost it again,
just like everybody else
