In The End It May Be Necessary To Make Emendations

In The End It May Be Necessary To Make Emendations

 

½ hr. afterwards

i start to remember;

if i go back

for that thought

i may lose my way,

never get back again;be stuck

with that gloamin’ prescience

of the present,

‘till it’s something

altogether different,

but, i say to myself,

that straight and narrow path

is so damn dimwitedly dull

it bores me ‘till my ears stand straight out from my head,

and that’s what’s making me tired;

i’d better stop, turn these screwed-up thoughts

to something else, maybe even

get a compensatory order from the boss:

like music,

just play it by ear,

like jazz,

a spontaneity of ideas,

fresh variations on a theme
