Goin’ For a Swim – a Poem

Goin’ For a Swim

Left brain, right brain, God brain, no brain

	in the light or dark, or maybe rain.

Singin', Oh, Glory, gotta tell the story,

	runnin' from the place with all the pain.

Saint or sinner, dancin' for your dinner

	tryin' to pretend it's all a game, 

	while worryin' 'bout the score and 

		sayin' you don't mind, but

		watchin' your behind all the same.

Or maybe you pretend you know how the story ends,

	or not, it don't make no never-mind.

Hidin' out, hope to shout, look, you're gonna fall,

	big river calls, get off the bank, suhkah!

	Better dive in, sink or drown or swim

		or you gonna, really gonna miss it all

		(and you already paid for your ticket,

		 	and the clock is tickin').  

		 	Wow, is it NOW already?

		 	GONNA DIVE, BAY-BEE!!!

		 		KerSPLOOSH!!!

Shhhhh ...
	Listen.  Don't you hear the river call?
