The Plan

the carefully laid out thought,
in all its structure, was never
any poem, 
And never could it be
I always thought

I am a renegade 
Warren Zevon would
surmise thinking about
stuff I never thought about

but still there is something about
the way he wrote

And that combined with 
Charlie Bukowski

For me, 
growing up in the Sixties and
Seventies, the two 

had some effect
on me

because I think they both
took up the unfinished business

someone or a lot of people 
called the plan


And I know there are bits 
and pieces of plans
in different areas

of science, and social strata 

there never was one plan,

that's not what planning is about

it never was.

Evidently.

Peace!
