Curious Ruminant

I count my life in seconds passed In meeting minutes, hours surpass Days of quiet watching felt upper class Flow through the years, wondering aloud Needle matches spark my fires Dissenting voices from steeple spires Ring out across the woody hills As brief as men march daffodils Asking "Why am I here?" Answering "Why am I anywhere?" Orbiting construct of Jung and Freud Psycho dreaming asteroid Faced with big questions, toss and turn Unfit to frolic, unconcerned Asking "Why am I here?" Answering "Why am I anywhere?" Orbiting construct of Jung and Freud Psycho dreaming asteroid Ruminant pleasures, write them down Harsh adjective, improper noun We consider each every day I'll change my viewpoint, shift and sway No pedant pickle, soup, or stew Sit on the fence, enjoy the view Needle matches spark my fires Dissenting voices from steeple spires Ring out across the woody hills As brief as men march daffodils Dead and gone, detached from your reality Pray, thinker, be kindly anyway In wee hours you peer midst the gathering gloom My ghostly whisper, "Cogito, ergo sum"
