PRETENTIOUSNESS

hey, I'm not afraid to admit it! the recent atmosphere at the org (the air's been a little thick lately) made me think of this.

if it helps me to chill out maybe it'll ha=elp y'all too:

---
if i

or anybody don't
know where it her his

my next meal's coming from
i say to hell with that
that doesn't matter (and if

he she it or everybody gets a
bellyful without
lifting my finger i say to hell
with that i

say that doesn't matter) but
if somebody
or you are beautiful or
deep or generous what
i say is

whistle that
sing that yell that spell
that out big (bigger than cosmic
rays war earthquakes famine or the ex

prince of whoses diving into
a whatses to rescue miss nobody's
probably handbag) because i say that's not

swell (get me) babe not (understand me) lousy
kid that's something else my sweet (i feel that's

true)

Well only in the sense that it is deep and means far more then the simple sentence appears.

If I understand it correctly, I like it and agree.

To me it says..."Don't sweat the small stuff...and in the long run,
just about all of it is "small stuff"...neither earth shattering
nor life-altering.

To me, it also says if you have a generous, caring, loving soul
let it be reflected in what you do and say.

But, see, that's the nature of poetry.
It brings out one thing in U, another in me.

So...how's everybody doing? smile
