Truckin’ My Blues Away

Keep on going as if you had a choice

is one way to look at it without any joy

or sense of humor. We don’t want to be

like that, do we? Besides, it ain’t all bad.

With experience, one realizes there are

ups and downs, not to get pedantic, but,

over explaining, mansplaining because of

words. Hey hey hey, as Buddha said

when he held up a flower, and sentient

beings have been truckin’ ever since.

If that helps.
