All in the Timing

A poem for the cast of the freshmen showcase. You guys rock. 

It's all in the timing
a foreign concept
bereft. unkempt
until I realize that I haven't stopped
since Coyocan in August
Because I am a creature of no change
I am a bell ringer
changing futures
and asking for the opposite
because I am constantly repeating myself
typing with my toes
shitting on Malboros
because I haven't figured it out yet
that life is not a sure thing
and I won't know the day I die
though I won't cry
I will live for 2 am Entenmann's crumb cake
I will live for someplace
I will live for loving someone once
and never forgetting
because you live every day
with an axe in your head
clouding your mind
so you can't think to stop
the nasturtiums are very beautiful today
the paradise is just a classic away
and even though you might miss
Casablanca and a desk and books
it'll be because you never looked
because life is about
fre faling & fynding iff heven waitz
Geronimo
or you'll be late for fate
because everybody has to be someplace
De anda
De palma
on the door handle
to the rest of our lives
whether you're buying bread
or you're a political figure's wife
life is timing
timing is life
and heven waitz
so just take your time*
