and, but, why

my phone number is an unimportant prime
and
my media access control is beyond a computer deciphered pi
way far out there, beyond any reasonable slick smiled lie

so i quietly listen when my sweat wanders near my eye
i am aware though i know i am not fully awake nor contrite
i know that the government tries to control loose minds
but
i admit that i don't understand nor comprehend fight or flight

it may just not be i - or me - or this skin bag of water that cries
why




my cassette tape is brittle and running dry
while those antiquated dirty heads no longer feign an ocean salty smile
and
while i listen slumped by hidden pain to avoid any personal strife

i dream any dream that doesn't lay by my side
but
i love that my crazy deceptive dog wags its body wild
i dig everything along with everybody under every sky
inherently clinging to their fragile fleeting soon to be forgotten lives

it may just not be i - or me - or this soul that cannot defy


why
