PLAINLY AS SIMBA COULD SEE IT

( January 16, 1996)


Motto Perpetuo
A never-ending story
A musical piece by Paganini
A poem by Whitman
With a million dots at the end

A long unpunctuated sentence
With short creative pauses
In between words
Or group of words
By whoever it is who wills
This to be like this

An eternal journey
Towards its beginning
Never ceasing
Forever moving
Flowing

One at a time
Not farther
But closer where
It all began

LIFE !

...

Bungled and botched
Alkie drugie hippie
Quicksilver lazybone
Vagabond good for nothing
sonnamagun

Great one
Yuppie proffie businessman
Straight doctor g-man
Priest lawyer
Respectable man

Does it matter how
One lives
Or if one sags
Or explodes?

LIFE!?

... ...

A place where
The lion sleeps
With the lamb without
Worrying who will
Kill or eat who

Where everyone owns everything
Where everyone owns nothing
All for one
One for all

Hakuna matata
No worries
No responsibilities

Eternal
Ethereal

LIFE!?!

... ... ...
etc...!?! !
