Continually the Clock Ticks
7/5/21
Chopsticks
Lockpicks
And exotics
Continually the clock ticks
Certain situations required antibiotics
Or the use of narcotics
For some it angered and others it was hypnotic
Near and far from lifeforms that are aquatic
There is peace or conflict
In a world that can be chaotic
People keeping it one hundo or being psychotic
Did or didn't use the noggin
From here to Austin
To way beyond Boston
And the tropics
Ingredients that were toxic
And chemicals that are caustic
What occurs on a daily basis in this world, makes me nauseous
Taking chances and staying cautious
In and out of areas that are cosmic
Having something or nothing to do with atomics
Had many wins and losses
Just being honest
Was a fool or used logic
It was of importance or microscopic
Did or didn't see it through the optics
Occurring often or periodic
Wasn't feeling well or felt awesome
My mind I done lost it
Time and money it costed
Hardcore or some soft
Wise or quick to talk it
Bitter or sweeter than chocolates
This damn habit I fought it
But could not knock it
Or truly stop it
Stayed grounded or took flight like a rocket
Traveling beside a comet
At speeds that were supersonic
