David DeSantis - Socrates Blues

I'm here...

thinking
of all the reasons,

that on a daily basis I find reason
to make an excuse.

And I wonder why
at 23
I can't do instead of think.

Today on the news-
Palin and Pigs
Georgia and War
Fuel and Fire,

All distractions
from where you are-
lost in the passion that you could have
but do not know,
because what you do know
is to think
while others act.

What
an absurd,
thought driven,
ego maniacal,
a.d.d.
laden cowboy you are.
