"Laugh while you can, Monkey Boy!”
White butterflies signal change of seasons,
surrendering to nature….
humanity thought it knew better…
at least, there’s jazz
for nights of regret.
Lord knows we tried.
Some did things, created things…
other’s tried to explain what
we were doing and why
through science and philosophy
while the answers, long known
and forgotten in the flash of
industrial dazzle daze , moulded
in ancient caves, collected dust
on the shelves of the Vatican.
Lord knows we tried…hell,
we probably couldn’t follow one
commandment and chew gum
at the same time.
We can only stand the truth
when sweetened by comedy,
and wind up
as the punchline.
