" Act When The Going Is Good "
......................................................................
I observe it all in shuttered camera images
Frame by frame, I see the Game
That one we all know as Life
Whirring psychic pictures propelled by a hidden hand
See my friend, it was all meant to happen in the end
Have you ever felt this psychedelic feeling
That we are being controlled by an unknown hand
Slide by slide precision concise
You never see the divide
But if you are like me, my companion
Awareness steals right in at the appropriate moment
And catches the instance the switch was tripped
Even though there's not a discernible sound
Visceral velvet visions distort the View
Soft pastel colors prism across the Lens
As absent loved faces flicker in and out of range, as if by grand design
Enabling me to see a clandestine connection
Between the Observer and the Observed
I watch with glinted eye for a sudden movement
That travels thrust speed from horizontal to apex
In rapid reverse polarity
Lateral degrees distract my attention
Just as a surreptitious seam comes into view
I bow and genuflect in dignified silence
There are some things best not known
And even better, best left unsaid
