Running Laps

A practical exercise

building strength

endurance

We must

be in shape already

to compete.

 

Now

This is it!

We must prepare

every moment

forever

Reality

is in the mix,

 

changing

as we speak

 

As the insanity continues.

We must not be distracted

or fall asleep.

The same mind trips and traps

which appear new

merely new versions

of  ancient tricks

prelude to

the coming apocalypse

 

While Jesse,

BettySue and John

 

busy-up

 

trying to get their fix

 

try'n

keep up with the Musks

but can’t keep up

with the latest politics

still, same old 

parlor tricks

 

another trainload

arrives at life’s station

new fools, dropping in

stepping out of their skin

pimping slick

trying to get

your soul twisted

around whatever it is

that they want to make

you think they've got

 

as if making you be about them

is so baaad

you won’t realize

 

their game is just another shot

trying to make you think

they be about what they're not

 

it's just another mothers child 

trying to get ahead of the game

more of the same
