Just as that honeybee
goes through his day
busy, as they say
collecting his nectar
He has no idea
that his real purpose
is spreading the pollination
of an entire world.
This then is how you are
going through your day
busy, as they say
Running your errands
having no idea
the effect you are having
on people like me.
I should have been a motorcycle man
you know,
full time.
And I could have had a motorcycle woman
you know,
hard tail.
And she and I could have blazed a trail
you know,
meteor.
Instead I have these echoes.
And I see you still
from this great distance
standing in just that way
There, as they say
And my still fresh mind
now of spun glass sparkling
and hard charging in the sun
resumes target acquisition until
click
this mental photograph taken.
This then is how I am
going through my day
dreams like sand drifting
slowly, as they say
through my fingers
And there along the roadside
single memories remain
crying out unattended.
I should have been a vagabond
you know,
roaming.
And I could have had a merry band
you know,
fellows.
And we could have blazed a trail
you know,
meteor.
Instead I have these echoes.
