GRUNGE IS A SPONGE

THAT SOAKS YOU UP

OR THE OTHER WAY AROUND

WHATEVER IT IS

REMEMBER THIS

YOU GOTTA DIG THAT SOUND

DIVINE INTERVENTION

MAKE THAT YOUR INTENTION

GIVE IT YOUR ATTENTION

BEYOND COMPREHENSION

TRUST YOUR INTUITION

MAKE YOUR OWN DECISION

SEE WHAT YOU ENVISION

THEN MAKE THAT YOUR MISSION

CAN YOU HEAR THE MUSIC

IN YOUR HEAD

HOW YOU GONNA USE IT

TO PRETEND

TO WRITE A SONG

AS YOU SING ALONG

TO SOMETHING THAT'S ALREADY THERE

ARE YOU FOR REAL

YOU'RE SO SURREAL

SO WHAT'S THE DEAL

CAN'T IMAGINE

WHERE TO BEGIN

TO LET YOU IN

ON THE SECRET

IT WOULDN'T BE ONE

IF I DID

WON'T TELL ANYONE

IT'S FORBIDDEN

IF IT'S WRITTEN

SO REGRESSING

KEEP YOU GUESSING

ALL THAT CHATTER

DOESN'T MATTER

REALIZE

IT'S THE VIBE

THAT SURVIVES

ARE YOU DEALING

WITH THE FEELING

ALWAYS CHANGING

LEAVES YOU HANGING

NOW YOU'RE CAUGHT

LOST IN THOUGHT

READING BETWEEN THE LINES

WONDERING WHAT YOU'LL FIND

SO MANY ARE PRONE

TO DO AS THEY'RE TOLD

BUT LET IT BE KNOWN

IT'S BEST TO BE BOLD

SEARCH FOR THE TRUTH

BECOME A SLEUTH

DON'T HESITATE

INVESTIGATE

IT TAKES US AWHILE

TO LEARN FROM MISTAKES

WE ARE IN DENIAL

WHATEVER IT TAKES

WHEN PEOPLE SHARE

THEIR OWN NIGHTMARE

WE DO NOT DARE

GO OVER THERE

WE'D RATHER LEARN

ON OUR OWN TERMS 

THAN THINK ABOUT 

SOMETHING WE DOUBT

BEST TO BE CAUTIOUS

OF WHAT YOU BELIEVE

IT IS OBNOXIOUS

HOW MANY DECEIVE

A meme found on Twitter about what could be a real issue when readers engage with our poetry:

         "I" in a poem doesn't (have to) mean it's me!

TOOK A LONG WALK ON A SHORT PIER

END UP DROWNING HOW'D I GET HERE

TOOK A SHORT WALK ON A LONG PIER

WONDERING WHAT I'M DOING HERE

THEN IMAGINE WENT FOR A SWIM

JUST ON A WHIM  OUT ON A LIMB

OF A BIG OLD TREE BY THE SEA

DANGLING FREE THEN SUDDENLY

CAUGHT BY A WAVE THAT WAS ENRAGED

WHY DID I DARE TO DANGLE THERE

RIGHT IN ITS WAY I COULDN'T SAY

AND SO IT SPLASHED AND SLAPPED I CRASHED

I SWAM ABOUT BEGAN TO SHOUT

IT KNOCKED ME OUT WITHOUT A DOUBT

IT PUSHED ME BACK ONTO THE SHORE

I WOULDN'T MESS WITH WAVES NO MORE

DROWNING IN A SEA OF THOUGHT WAVES

WONDERING WHY IF IT BEHAVES

MIGHT ACTUALLY MAKE SENSE SOME DAY

BUT FOR NOW DOESN'T SEEM THAT WAY

YET I COMMIT IT TO THE PAGE

LIKE TAKING ORDERS FROM SOME SAGE

WHO SEEMS TO KNOW BETTER THAN I

SOMEDAY THERE'LL BE A REASON WHY

THIS TALE DOESN'T WANT TO END

IT'S MUCH LONGER THAN I INTEND

IT CAUSES ME TO APPREHEND

TO UNDERSTAND TO COMPREHEND

THAT EVERYTHING HAS GOT TO END

WATCHING THE LEAVES

DANCE IN THE BREEZE

GIVING IN

TO THE WIND

GRACEFULLY

RELAXING ME

BIRDS SING

SIGHT UNSEEN

SOME FLY BY

CATCHING MY EYE

COMPLETING THE SCENE

THAT'S SO SERENE

IF ALL THE WORLD'S A STAGE

WHAT PART DO YOU PLAY

DO YOU MEMORIZE LINES

OR IMPROVISE

IMPROVISATION IS MY SCENE

JUST KEEP ON IMAGINING

YOU NEVER REALLY KNOW

WHAT GOES ON IN THIS SHOW
