Fifteen Senyru Reflecting Forty-Two Years

by

Fifteen Senryu Reflecting Forty-Two Yearsan invitation to join earthbound symphonies the call accepted

tiny knocked up egg i am conceived and growing the journey begins

a new world appears i already want guidance who are these people

give me attention i catapult food at you why did i come here

kindergarten class blocks and crayons and long naps illusion begins

memorize the facts school pap, no contemplation what a way to live

teenage years arrive do not tell me what to do nothing can be done

serious trauma life is so unfair it seems lets try some cocaine

loony bin hello what drugs are you giving me who are these doctors

illusion complete you are the ones who need pills I am not staying

life continues on twenty one years and counting san francisco nightssex, drugs, rock and rolloysters, champagne, more cocainehave you seen my car

illness wakes me upilluminates compassionnow give me some pie

life on this planetway too short or way too longtoo early to tell

this is not fortythis is not even fiftyit is just right now
