Everything but this.

How to this

How to that

There’s a How to: For Everything

Everything but this.

You know who you are.

to get lost in the current

It’s good

at times

to go with the flow

though to get

lost in the current

can happen

more commonly than not

so it too

is necessary

to get out of the mix

if only to see

if current seas

flow in both directions

it’s important

to know

whose ship you’re sailing.

My focus is a pinball

There is no

If

And

Or

But

About it

My focus is a pinball

With

No

Credits

Left

To play.

places for people like us

There are places

for people like us

under bridges

gutters

dumpsters

caves

out of sight

and out of mind

naked and alone

where only those

with torches

pitchforks

and love

can find us.

great importance

No matter how much

people want you to believe

something is of great importance

remember that it’s still

just a bunch of people

standing around

shuffling their feet

trying to look important.

the naked and clothed

If you can manipulate life into a form

that suits your needs then wear it.

Or walk naked if you have to.

Either way,

Winter is cold. Summer is warm.

Spring is boundless. And the Fall is inevitable.

In this life

the naked and clothed

are one and the same

some just get lucky

while others wear the blame.

taking the cuffs off

What’s the point in saying anything

with so much more to say

than what you’re actually saying

you just kind of don’t think you do anymore

or perhaps you haven’t found the right words

because I could go on all day about it

so don’t lie to me kiddo

I could punch all the mirrors in the world

but it wouldn’t make a difference either way

that’s just a cop out and I’m taking the cuffs off.

obsessive compulsive culture

These are

obsessive compulsive times

in an even more

obsessive compulsive culture

so it’s no wonder

this obsessive compulsive content

isn’t anything more than

a like, swipe, and vine away

from disappearing.

You don’t have to smile

If you’re not smiling today than good.

You don’t have to smile today.

You don’t have to smile tomorrow,

but you will smile again.

And when you do, I’ll be there

telling you I told you so.

And it’s going to be a great time.

It’s going to be better than before.

dumb ideas

In the end

all of our

dumb ideas

eventually become

reality, whether

by our own hand

or another,

the dumb idea

to one

is somehow, always

genius

to another.
