Everyone Else's Brain

Folder: 
Other Stuff

It's a pretty day

pretty funny if you look at it right

And you might say

it's even prettier when it turns to night

Even though I do love to see the sun shine.

I have to wonder to myself

is everyone else's brain moving as fast as mine.  



It's a crazy world.

Crazy like a fox out on the prowl.

And my head twirled

when I thought I heard a coyote howl.

It seems late.  But it's only a little after nine.

And I have to wonder to myself

is everyone else's brain moving as fast as mine.



We analyze, then we criticize.

We pick someone apart, try to categorize.

But I apologize if I antagonize.

It's really something we don't need to advertise.



The shape of that cloud

is the shape of a heart up in the sky.

And I thought aloud,

maybe it's a sign from on high.

I'd rather be here

then anywhere this side of the Mason Dixon line.

And I have to wonder to myself

is everyone else's brain moving as fast as mine.



I'm content now.

Content like Buddha sitting by a tree.

And I won't allow

the little things to ever get to me.

I was invited

but I had to politely decline

And I have to wonder to myself

is everyone else's brain moving as fast as mine.
