You Can Push the Button Down Longer

But the button wants to do its thing
How many things can the button do
If you push the button down longer
the button then becomes slightly
more uncomfortable 
I think it is like a trigger mechanism
you could amble for awhile
prior to any preamble 
something could seem completely
wrong over time even to an 
expert, yet they don't understand
why
one thing is okay then the other
thing is not, but they are all
systematically in the same
domain, but are they
So things are all measured
in a system, but you might
be forgetting that the one
thing is measured with a different
wavelength

but hey I just want to 
play a song on guitar
not push any button

I grew up when you would
use a rotary dial

People would drive seventy
eighty miles per hour down
two way highways, 

cars were long,
gas was cheap.

everybody smoked
And you bought your
meat from the butcher
market down at the
corner market

packaged in paper
And we only had
three channels
on television


and back then you used
a knob
to switch between channels
actually the knob had
twenty four channels
displayed, but only
three could come into
focus

but we did get
hockey night in Canada

Hockey night
I forgot about that...

Peace!
