"Late Night Ramblings in My Living Room"

by Jeph Johnson

 

remarkably
until recently
I never noticed ...
Life Has No Meaning!
prior
purpose
was frequently
decided upon
...daily
even once
I had the
pat answer:
"Live for the Creator"
Christ
...play nice
(by the rules)
...have fun
(but don't over do it)
thank you
and have a nice day!
smile :-)
...don't worry,
be happy
...go your own way
fly south for the winter,
...or go north to Alaska,
north the rush is on!
my wisdom...
the mentality of a car's bumper
(ha!
...or a short poem)
excitement
vigor
and global awareness
I found the cause
and stood up for it
but couldn't find the effect
I did unto others while
they did unto me
and learned to love myself
now I am more disillusioned
than ever
and require a release-
no red meat
(I have them cook it brown)
more oxygen
(I breathe)
less toxins
(I use the bathroom twice a day)
higher consciousness
(my brain functions ok)
less reality
(fantasy fills my thoughts)
sex
(not legal in my state)
masturbation
(my Paxil limits that)
next
castration
(my voice would rise two octaves)
TV
(cable ready)
poetry
(without exception)
parody
(no one gets it)
a pet
(landlord won't allow it)
clean my house
(no ambition)
find a spouse
(hahahahahaha)
listen to "Dark Side of the Moon"
and watch the "Wizard of Oz"
only
I prefer "The Wall"
and reruns of "The Tick"
for he says my favorite quote:
"You're not going crazy...
you're going sane
...in a crazy world!"
