I haven't lived yet
But I know where life is
It isn't on Wall Street
It isn't in a superbowl
It isn't in a laboratory
It isn't in a Pantagas play
It isn't in a Japanese rock garden
It isn't at Cape Canaveral, Florida next stop Mars
Life is not on the internet or in a classroom
Life is not at Disney's Magical Mountain, Toontown, USA
Life is not in a book, contrary to popular belief. Can we cue the reading rainbow song?
Life is risk, reward, punishment, subloop, if/then statements.
Chance is an understatement, chaos is an overstatement.
The word is life.
Life is the friend you still haven't called
Life is where the trees are
Life is in your basement, or wherever you feel loneliest
Life contains icicles and horse shoes
Life is two people crying together
Life will always be a struggle
Survivor the home game, place your bets
Foam hand and a hefty wager. Here come the players.

Genius strikes again, Herold.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I don't think Marlon expressed any desire to "come to the Father" in this poem.
