"if i ain't sinkin'
i must be swimmin'.
if i ain't dead,
i must be livin'.
and livin' is the thing
scares me most."
---larry joe taylor song

philosophical.

metaphysical.

religious.

poetic.

if i ain't livin'
i must be dead.

if i ain't swimmin'
i musta' sunk.

if i ain't drinkin'
i must be drunk.

if i ain't written
it musta' been writ.

if i ain't standin'
must be time to sit.

if i ain't goin'
must be time to git.

if the fans a turnin'
that must be shit a' flyin.

if i'm livin'
then i must be dyin'.

and dyin's what
i do best.

if i'm in love
then i must be cryin'.
