_Yes, the Day_

What are you doing now?
Now what are you?
What are you doing now?
Now what are you?
what are you doing

now?

A blob of rind

no doubtful will

disc cover the world

travel the seven caesars

witness the seven

ancient blunders of the whorled.

What do you want to say?
What are you today?
Are you yesterday?

What did you want to say?
How are you today?
When were you yesterday?

Remixed emotions
adrenalin coastin'
what would be most'n
subjunctive gumption.
Don't tell me (refute),
you'll deliver salutes in
words as truncheons?

Don't you know
what you're asking,
the rippled skin
you're hassling,
with your coming, leeching,
and castling whatever
it takes to drive your passing
(and pick your ass-lint!)?
Is your tribe
worth taskin'?
Got ya feeling so
beat craftin',
now y'laughin',
don't you know
what's happenin'
now that you're
strapped in,
Captain?

the day you say
yes the day
you say yes
the day you say yes the day

you say yes from within.
She's her's for the giving.
He's his for the giving.
They're their's for the giving.
I still won't take you
for a fool (bad trade).
Been offline for a while; I have three other poetic writings I'm working on, they may come up here soon too.

This is likely to be revisited to smooth out meter flows between sections.
