DO NOTHING

[Guest guest]

try as i might

it's very hard to do.

 

i could bust a gut trying and die

 

reaction, post-action

mulling and muleing

ad infinitum

ad naseum

 

i'd settle down

and do nothing,

try as i might

(but i can't)

 

don't have it in me

so i'll keep going

(and going)

 

until i can't take it anymore

and succumb

like a worn-out, old man

hooked up to tubes

on his deathbed.

 

"can't fight the light forever"

says the voice in my head

 

But i push that thought aside

indoctrinated and convinced

to try as i might,

cause someday,

one of these days

i'll get it right

and do nothing,

 

'til then

i will be wrong

until i am right

unwhole and incomplete

like a sliced

piece of meat

 

bingeing on trying

 

and no matter how much i eat

i can never seem to swallow

the soul of that cow,

 

that rotting, holy cow,

with it's putrid lips

telling me from it's grave,

 

"Do nothing, do nothing, do nothing..."
