Maybe

Just maybe,

Tomorrow came and went without a cost

But oh boy, did you ever get tossed!

Maybe, just maybe

When all your hurdles are leapt

And mountains flagged

Or rivers crossed, ones still at a loss

Maybe just maybe within times dial

Misspent days are better spent,

Then watched I’d say, is less than second best

And so who’s to say, Miller’s king of the road, isn’t

But instead, the town’s, Toast!

(Knowing the song helps)

Trails end comes as a

Harsh note in a love song

Trails end comes as a an artists stroke 

Botched and miss applied paint, gone wrong

Trails end comes

When past lives and loves 

Converge on life’s highways song

Trails end comes

When mornings birds chatter 

Says much but didn’t matter

And so it goes

Until winters….. winters 

Winters breaths are so cold that they 

Start cold hearts beat

And then Trails ends all end

And

Then that’s all there is to say

Just look up… and see what will 

Come your way..

Come your way..

Come your way to stay….

I wish

There was a place

For me to hide 

A sad face

One where no one cared

Where I was or came from, also

But just said all you need

Is a bit of mother’s milk

To consol you

So I’ll just rest here

For a day, a week or month or year

And then I’ll heal 

In the light of bright days lights

Lights that shed 

Soul held together

with great full tears 

Off to war

Born at 21

Off to sea add 3

Lost my childhood in a native port

And then the clouds broke for me

And then it was

Where my time did grow

Did yours, also, my brother in tow

For then and there where the cables of life’s riches were stowed

And a mother’s heart bled

Angry bullets shred her love to the very end

So cast your doubts, your views as well

And vote as well

Tis all of us are doomed

To the cannons hell

How Silly

How Silly

It is

To grow up,

I think

Wouldn’t it be better?

If you just learned how to think?

For yourself I say

With no influence, why just the other…

Mother

Nature it is

Spoke clearly to all of us

To guide us too

You everlasting youthful, fool

You’ll find your way

There’s no choice you see

Just grow and grow

And feel your soul

Just don’t grow up, please

Just be part of this… with the flowers and the trees…

I sat curiously

Within the sea of strife…

And there before me lent it’s hand

To that which is often known as life,

Yet. lo and behold It tis me you think

I am yet just a man with out guidance or think

So say loud or soft as you might know

I am a man who seeks life’s fertile soul

With or with out you!!!

That you know

So say you love and do not care

Or repel the advance of a nation so prepared

Your future can only be be

What you ordain, it to only be!

In the hollow of every gentle rain

Lives a refrain

Haunting,

Slippery,

Spinning,

The days light

Into the morn

And 

Before the new days light

Here lives all

Worthy of the crimson from the tall deep silent nights call

I love you too

But not in love with you…

Act 1

Scene 2

Stage set up; Computer moved to Center stage

Patient siting up on daybed, rubbing his eyes

A.I Hello Georgie

Hi

A.I did you have nice sleep?

NO! YOU stupid ahole! Would you?

A.I Georgieeee, now is that anyway to talk?

No, I guess not. I’m sorry

A.I Well that’s better now.

No it’s not! Did you notice the sky? It’s red and green

A.I So

Well that an omen

A.I of What

Of your death!

A.I my death? Dear boy. I can’t die but you can

Well we all do, so what?

A.I So what? Are you kidding?

Yes! And no!

And what about those near death experiences?

A.I well they never happened or did they?

Well, I dunno. I don’t care. I’m worried about the 8 billion people in this world!

A.I how so?

They’re my family

A.I All 8 billion?

Yes

A.I Do all survive?

NO

A.I What happens?

What the fuck do you think happens?

A.I they die?

Look stupid, you’re A.I you’re supposed to know these things. Not wring them out of me

A.! And?

Yes, they do…

Except for Mellissa

A.I Melissa?

Jesus your slow for A.I aren’t you?

Yes, Mellissa. My one true love….

I walk more slowly, now

Deliberate gait, now

More aware of the world I’m in, now

Look up at the Cosmos more than down at my feet , now

Slowly seeing all around

Lifting the smell of the day

Smiling more at funny faces

Especially mine in the mirror, now

It seems daily I’m remined

Of what I tell others, unhappy

Unfulfilled, looking, seeking, now

It ain’t forever, it ain’t forever, it ain’t forever

NOW!

Act 1

Scene 1

Stage Set up

Computer (HE) on a stand stage left

Patient lounging on a couch center of stage

He Said: Hello Georgie,

Hi

He Said: Well, my son

You’ve lived life, so well

Sir, I have

No complaints, before I die

He said:

And you’ve burned the candle at both ends

I bet you have many stories to tell

Sir I haven’t burned the candle at both ends

But, at both ends and the middle too

And I bet there are stories- you’d -want- to hear…

He said: Yes, I would

So what’s troubling you?

Life

He Said: Oh, how unusual. Everyone else’s life is just perfect, Why is yours so sad. (muffled “you ass”)

I’ve had 2 near death experiences

He Said: Oh? Do tell?

The first was when my wife (at the time)

Caught me sleeping with the next door neighbors daughter

Yes yes..18… blah blah blah I’m pretty sure anyway

He said:

And the next, George or do you prefer Georgie?

Georgie

She caught me sleeping with her sister

He Said: The Daughter’s sister?  

Noo, My wife’s! 

You ass of electrons and sand! 

Heavens, the computer age used to be an extension of humans. 

Now I fear humans are the extension of computers. 

He said: Yes, Georgie, you are…

I mean, so you’ve…

Been a shit bag?

Have you?

Yes, of course.. so what? What are and who are you to be so inquisitive?

He said: I am the law, Georgie. Not the earthly kind, though More ethereal I’d say

And so what? What are you going to do to me? Kill me..

Well, are you?

He said: Oh nooo.. I presume you’ll do that yourself.

Oh really, why, how? Gun, poison, bridge with a small walkway and a long fall hahahah.

He said: Oh no. Nothing as direct as that.

God, (nm) I don’t believe in that myth. But I do hope you short out.

He said: Oh, why, Georgie?

Because you are the future enemy of the state.

So listen. NO matter what you say or try to trick me into saying…

I won’t go crying! 

Nor screaming in to that good night

Nor be lost in the above

Of senseless meaning

I will chill the new born days light

And switch the hell

From anyone’s sight

For I am a man

Tried and true

And if you doubt that

I’m waiting for you

Out side

Bare knuckled I wait for thee 

I’ll demolish you

Just wait and fucking see

. 

He said: Georgie, I see our times up for now…

Harrumph I hope you blow a tube. Like rock stars amplifier

He said: And I Georgie ..

Well come, touch my side. What do you feel?

Cold steel?

He said: Titanium actually

Now think good thoughts. Until tomorrow. The white suits are coming for you now…
