A crowd had gathered outside the malt shop.
Some people had gotten out of the line for their blizzards.
This interested me, so I pushed myself into the crowd.
Nothing to see here! A carnival barker type was barking.
Let me be the judge of that! A woman’s voice sang out.
The crowd doubled, tripled, and quadrupled. We were big now.
I heard a cheer go up from the front, but I could not see anything.
Here he is! Someone yelled. I was thinking king or president.
More cheering. Closer to me now. I could see a tiny bit of the street.
An elephant riding a walking egg walked by.
“Nothing to see here!” the carnival barker said.
Getting it right for the second time.

I got in the habit lately
of bending rules
I truly belive in
Its my intellectual game
to see who's paying attention
If they rat me out
I've already have my intuition
confirmed that
your really not on my side
That your waiting for me to deride
And you can gloat that
you've had your hand in it
It's my way of telling who
truly loves me for me
or is it just jealousy
or is it more sinister
Someone who wants
to destroy apart of me
I'll be the judge of that
I just wait watch and see
This won't be needed anymore
When in done healing
All I'll need is my intuition
Not confirmation before
I am treading in new territory
Don't know my way around
Scare
Don't know the front from the back
Don't know the end or is it the beginning?
Don't know anything
But I will let you lead me
I am just following your foot steps
Nervous and my stomach is in knots
But I will follow You scare
Do You ever make it easy?
Always, right?
We shall see Lord
I'll be the judge of that
But I will let You guide me
To the mountains to the tops
Where the valley hill
My soul shall tread
Did You come to do the back flip?
I think not
So there it is
My life - Your beginning
A blank canvas
waiting to be filled
You asked for it
There You got it
Nothing that it is mine
Am I concerned that I know not?
But You know better, right?
You'd better
Scare sless
Yet following You
You got it, Lord
Got it
Some people say I am crazy others think I am cracked but they have got me
misunderstood because I am none of that. I am a fine outstanding young man I hope
you see that. I am not writing this for you or me but for the whole world to see. If you
take a minute and get to know me you will see I am none of that but you will have to
be the judge of that. Some people say I am crazy others think I am cracked I want you
to be the judge and prove this for a fact.
