Could dressing up

cartoon owls

in graduation caps & gowns

be setting the bar too high

for actual owls?

I’m going to take a good look

inside my head and find out

what’s working or not.

***

I’m going to take a good look

at everything I ever said,

I’m going to put myself on the spot

***

I’m going to look at

myself in the same way

I’ve been looking

at everybody else.

***

I’m going to be critical,

play it seriously analytical

blame game

***

If you’ve got an accent

that I don’t understand,

I guess i got one too

***

But if I try a little harder

to figure you out

i’ll bet you try harder too

***

I’m going to look at myself …

***

It’s a pretty good start

don’t you think so?

I’m going to have to say

goodbye, though,

to all my so-called friends,

who kept me in the dark

***

But it’s a pretty good start.

***

I won’t you to know

it didn’t go so well

I found out things

I didn’t want to know

***

You ought to go ahead

and try it yourself,

see how far you can go

***

Sometimes you can see farther

in the dead of night

when you think you can’t see anything at all

***

Play it critical

seriously analytical

blame game

Begin and end

each day with

a smile,

but in between

maybe, tone it

down a bit,

because you’re

creeping

everybody out.

Somewhere at the end

of a chem-trail

you will find a pot of gold

being manipulated

by the central banks

a confederacy of conspiracists

One’s signature

can tell a lot

about what a

person’s name is

Once I laughed at death

but that only seemed to

really upset him

Dr. Heimlich had

a couple of other maneuvers 

that involved choking,

but he used those only when

he needed cash.

If I were facing the electric chair

I’d probably try to hide a few slices of

fat back in my pockets,

and let my accusers think

I died smelling delicious

I have a

perfect

photographic

memory.

***

I’ll give you an example:

***

You could lend

me a book,

I’d read it, and then,

return it to you.

***

Then,

one year later,

you could

come to me

with that same

book, and

I could tell you

***

precisely

***

if that book

had any

photographs in it.
