I think that if I could have wearable tech
it might be a vest that inflates in a wreck.
Perhaps a decoder of lyrics by Beck,
or one that converts between gallons and pecks?
Or lets me run wild in the ship’s holodeck.
But I am afraid if I am circumspect,
it is I that this tech likely tries to inspect,
to direct my actions, make me genuflect.
Big brother, who watches, with powers unchecked!
So with due politeness and all due respect,
This wearable tech is a watch I reject.

Are you the person that invents the problem?
Or are you the problem decoder?
Do you put the effort into creating happy and free?
Or are you the annoying freeloader?
You see, often people put heaps of effort into
Avoiding things needing to be sorted.
Instead of just doing it right the first time,
They attempt to have it aborted.
“But I can’t do it now”, “If I do that then this’ll happen”,
“There is no other way”.
“It can wait till tomorrow”, “I’m just on the phone”.
It’s all just a big delay.
This effort to abandon and energy to prevent,
It drains the mover and shaker,
Taxing free thoughts to improve and focus
On being a creator and maker.
So if you feel the need to devise excuses,
Using selfish and see through expressions.
Just remember that you might be exhausting Monet,
Trying to create Impressions.

You are the gum at the bottom of my screwball.
You are the action figure in my happy meal.
You are the x-ray glasses from my bubblegum wrappers.
You are the decoder ring in my cereal box.
You are the bumps and buldges that fill my Christmas stocking.
You are the sole present under my tree.
You are the best surprise life has offered.
You make me the happiest I could ever be.

This is it
This is the day it all changes
It all just rearranges
So it can all fit
Into this oddly shaped mold
In order
For you to grow old
The answers to all your questions lay in an old decoder
You tell me you'd like to go in peace
But please, you beg, don't put me in a box
You don't want to be known as the dearly departed
Because life's not supposed to end before it ever even got started
Sitting there, spaced out, on a pile of ancient rocks
Not much of a life for you to try and piece
Together, well, whatever
And so on, and son, forever and ever
To help you remember
The changes, that never
Even took place
Along with all the memories you've tried to replace
You play dead
You said
Because you're living in fear
Having to let go of all that you once held near & dear
I hope it will come as no surprise
You know, the news of your untimely demise
Or would you prefer it to be called, the end of all your days to come
If you must--just go
Go right out the back door
Because I know you've never wanted to leave more
But, do you dare go?.......NO!
You just stay the same with your hand permanently occupied by that bottle of rum
