Barking Up My Tree

Don't take me seriously, please Take me with a grain of sandstone A geologic sediment of inter-galactic sludge Take my human heart and see the contradictions Look inside my head and see the trains of thought explode The flights of hypocrisy that cross in convolution and ignorant Confusion Say Boxes that won't open with logical keys Oh please, don't take me Seriously I am of a species that will not adhere to the rules of a literal wit No So just sit back and relax and enjoy the show Admission is free with an open mind. ~ Laurence Overmire (Previously published in Unlikely Stories, Oct.
