if you gave me a thought would you take a penny
\nfor a toss over the shoulder into the river of dream
\nfor surely it is magical when other becomes a you
\nbeen to the heavy of dancing bulls and china
\ndid that did we ever with such flare the cows came home
\nthen came the promises to keep, the bickering leaves
\nannouncing their departure.<\/p>\n
i gave you a thought often so ever…
\nand everything is beautiful in it’s own way
\nexcuse me for borrower’ing another’s words
\nso fitting i could not deny myself this pleasured
\nthought…that was Michael’s thought that
\nnothing but love can pass thru the abyss
\nanything can be tossed in but
\nthere needs be a willing receiver
\nfor anything to get out<\/p>\n
click open, click shut,
\nopen, shut…then
\nno more
\neh?<\/p>\n
well we could ponder the abyss between dead and alive
\nor the abyss of a dirt spot under the fingernail
\nneeding a tsunami to get from there to anywhere else
\nor the abyss between to humans with opposite dispositions
\nor the abyss of opposition within ourselves
\nyeah Freud, the Ego and the Alter Ego
\nthe long winding river from the mountain to the sea
\nonce upon a time i thought interesting to ponder
\ntwo grains of sand lying next to each on the tip of Africa’s shore
\nit took a fly over, ages later, to learn
\nthe tip of Africa – is a giant rock.<\/p>\n
Now my coffee cup is empty and the smoke is in my eyes
\nand my nose and my lungs…heys youse
\ni’m on pause now
