Am I Getting Closer or Farther Away?


Sometimes you get what you want, but you lose what you have...
What is the secret? What is the 'deal'?
Time keeps on slipping into the Future...
Tick tock...
And, if you think that life is about 'feeling groovy'
well, you are going to be disappointed.

Also, if you think that 'things' are going to make you happy
well, you better make sure you have some place to put them,
because they take up lots of space.

Once upon a time...
When I didn't have a pot to piss in,
everything was unlimited,
You can go anywhere from nowhere,
but each choice you make limits you,
and the more choices you make 
the less room you have to maneuver.

People, too, are unreliable...
they always let you down,
even the best of them...
don't waste your time trying to figure them out,
and, never count on anybody but yourself.

This is it, bro!
You are where you are,
right here and right now,
everything else is up for grabs...
The past is over,
so, don't waste your time worrying about what might have been,
it is what it is...

And, the Future,
that sacred place up in the clouds,
well, it may never come,
and when it does,
it's not going to be like you imagined.

Nothing is perfect,
God is not even perfect...
If He is we need to redefine perfection,
Maybe the Japanese have got it right:
perfection is what is natural,
and imperfect.

The tea cup with a crack in it,
a rough stone,
running water,
burning leaves,
happy thoughts...

So, here I sit,
with my dick in my hand,
imagining a better world,
and knowing that this one is all I really have.

“Woe is me,” the old Jew said.
Because he realized his ultimate destination.

This train is bound for Glory!
I am so excited...
To be part of the Universe,
To experience all of these sensations,
and, to have all of these magnificent adventures...
each one more amazing then the last.

I am happy with the people I meet,
because when I get to know them,
they make me realize,
how well off I really am...
How lucky to be living in America,
with the barkers and the colored balloons.

Man, its a regular three-ring circus,
replete with clowns and freaks,
and very serious people,
dressed in costumes,
and racing toward the Abyss...

Woo Hoo – it doesn't get any better than this!
I have been privileged to know some of the coolest people on the planet,
with big hearts and first-class minds...
And, some of the biggest assholes too.

But, hey, if you didn't encounter lots of assholes,
you wouldn't be able to appreciate the cool people,
when you finally meet up with them...

Warning: if you want to be cool,
remember this:
All the cool people perish at the hands of the assholes!
And, if we didn't perish with them,
it was probably because we weren't as cool as we thought we were.

Assholes live long and prosper.
When Jesus said, “The meek shall inherit the earth...”
he meant the assholes,
because assholes care about shit like that...
They want to be 'happy' and 'feel good',
and, they know that only money can bring you what you need,
which is 'security'...
But, the cool people know
that there is no security...

Life is fleeting,
dreams are all empty,
and the final destination is death....
