“THEY’VE BEEN HERE FOREVER!” a poem a.k.a.: “No, They Haven’t!” in the series: “Someone’s Playing You & Yes, It IS You!” Nov. 20, 2018 – Tuesday
When I was throw-ED from the womb- and plopped-down on The Sheet,
I didn’t-know-where-I-was – or-if-there-was-A-”PLACE”-TO-EAT!!
My vision blurred! My senses weak! but – THEN! Your breasts appear! –
And I assumed, THEY-WERE-THERE-BEFORE!! and-that-[you-are-my-dear!]*
When I did move – to ope’ my eyes,
There’s-gram-&-gramps-&-a-lot-o’-flies!
A crib! I’m in – with sheets and light –
And I PRESUMED, with all my “sight,”
That everyone was here before,
And I-am opening – some-prior-door,
To discover – ALL-that’s-waiting-for-me,
“They”-didn’t-JUST-APPEAR!? Well, we shall see!
Now, THE-ASSUMPTION-is: They’ve always been around!
And there’s more-and-more (stuff) to see, that-I’ve-”FOUND!”
THESE PEOPLE! Yes, they did await,
My ENTRANCE – to this Worldly Gate!?
When I popped in – did-they-sign-for-my-birth?
They HAD – nurses’ stations – all-over-The-Earth!!?
Did planes and governments abound BEFORE-(pause) ME?
Sure! They-were-PREPARING – for Little Ol’ J.-D.**
BUT WHAT-IF YOU-KNEW – THEY WEREN’T HERE BEFORE!!!
YOU conjured them up – right up through the floor,
And – in-to-your-conscious-awareness NOW!
So! They’re-all dependent on YOU – somehow!
WOULDN’T-THAT-BE-SOMETHING? – that you have INVENTED?
All this STUFF? and-ALL-these people: DEMENTED!
And they could all vanish, IF you snap your fingers!
NOW! Wouldn’t-that-be-something?
Megalo-mania lingers!! 🙂 – Theme Music: “2001, A Space Odyssey!”
