It’s time to move out
of the 19th century
& start adding lightbulbs

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.
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
