Happening In a Flash
6/24/17
Doing the bare minimum, or max
Won't always be the first or last
Near and far from waters with or without bass
Walking and running on grass
Driving slow or fast, still using gas
Seeing through my own eyes and often glass
Not spending time at any religious mass
Just taking out the trash
Walking down my own path
With an occasional laugh
Thinking toward the future, in the present and back into the past
So much pettiness and bullshit over cash
Things being drawn out or happening in a flash
Just like that
All across the map
In and out of any habitat
Areas in sunlight or pitch black
Places with none, one or multiple bird baths
Similar and different temperatures on thermostats
Ah, the great old debate about whether or not the Earth is flat
Meanwhile time continues to elapse
Across a rather vast
Expanse full of life such as plants
And ants
