i don't have to be a brain surgeon
to know i am not a rocket scientist
i can be simple
circle the cows and dance
until the wagons pull in front
of the horses
but i can't dance the words
like marionettes
in such a way that i make
you toggle the switch
to bend the forumula
and pinch the recipe
and move on to
another act of kindness
i don't need to know
what i am not saying
or what i am avoiding
i am making the jungle gibberish
that unwraps the clues
to yesterday and beyond
but i am looking for
a thumb with a face and someone
who likes to go for the ride of joy
with the guy who is smarter
than slice bread
