push the big red button; i dare you

creatures of stimuli,
press the right buttons to make 'em cry,
wilt away in the nick of time,
just to watch another crime,
pain is extacy,
love a joke,
press another button to let off smoke

I'm ok, I'm ok, I swear I'm ok,
Leave it alone, I'll be fine
I swear

let's forget
crawl away and hide
let's blank it out
leave it all behind
let's omit the details
let's forget this ever happened
at all

human and weakling
powerless and struggling
can we forge ahead
push the button to feel the moment
push the button to feel the joke
what can a blind man do but follow
what can any man do
push another button for the answers
wait a moment, or two

I'm ok, I'm ok, I swear I'm ok,
Leave it alone, I'll be fine
I swear

for all the goats

In my head I see a perfect world, a utopia of mind. I see the beauty of it all and it makes me wonder, why can't it be this way in truth? But sadly not to be. Everything comes crashing down around the feet rather quickly when one climbs out of one's own head. Oh to remember tranquility.

I saw a stream, so i sat by it for a while. Throwing stones into its abyss, counting the seconds between splashes. I remember that, it was surreal.

I saw a path, so i followed it for a short time. It brought me to a seat, randomly positioned in the middle of some where and it amused me. I remember that.

i remember.

if only i could remember the answers to the riddles they keep asking. It was unsettling to hear a tree ask about steamless trains.

funny really
