the situation is Cyndi Lauper
time after time
i&#8217;m forced to retreat
because you&#8217;ve bonded with another
and turned up the heat;
but if given a chance
i&#8217;ll prance and dance
all night in your dreams&#8230;
a sweet and succulent sleep
that will slip you into
eternal peace.

Dead Prez, Psychology
My mind is the place where I make my plans.
The world is the place where I take my stand.
The beauty of life is mine today.
They cannot take my mind away.

holding us up
limiting our thinking,
what we thought was up
is slowly sinking.
crutches
fooling our senses
cultural pretenses
closed doors
and                         lost opportunities
trapped                  behind fences.
crutches
we can&#8217;t stand alone
so are we?
who made the crutches we depend on?
did we?
crutches
holding us down
limiting our thinking,
we think we&#8217;re going up
but we&#8217;re really sinking.

a shore-side shine
of your prolific persona
possibly looped too soon
