CAUSE & EFFECT


DRENT:
alone & the room, that makes two of us
grab the (bull by the) horns embrace the human touch
complex to break, upfront it’s simple
back to back, face:face split right down the middle
I’d give one more night in return for today
get your life together, apart from what they say
of want and misery: the nothing that kills
gives me somewhere to stand for my lack of skill
poor dialogues and rich contexts
pull out ALL stop signs of work in progress
every hour wounds…lost ones hurt
cost of living, unfortunately pays dirt
talk is cheap no expenses spared
someone’s pocket-watches over people under the stairs
turns out, scene and words, play like spin lights
you don’t see us, without me, it’s onlyone insight
with-in lights…dark horse - achilles
two headed boys, a tale of two cities
one part monster, two parts mythical
lost sounds of separation, all individuals
living together, the both of us are dying
on the cusp of giving up, we’re still trying
changing clothes, we have more sense than…style
not within arms length, they stretch for miles
within striking distance, without a doubt
when I get down in the dumps, throwing up and about
swallowing pride inside bellies of beasts
reader’s digest, writer’s process…to say the least

CHORUS:
the Rudimentary awakening, of sleeping seasons
if silence is consent, we're voices of reason
left within, right without regret,
given to dreams, one by one, cause & effect

ALLONE:
I'll Marvel crafting stories with my heroes like Stan Lee
I'm amply crafty, sharing 'til the amps peak,
I'm a symbol for uniting (as an ampersand)
see wind blasting 'neath your fanned wingspan
weak fam' invited 'neath mine, chill freak fans
"be cool" it's a damn breeze! Blew off school
(although i wasn't a fan) understand me parents please,
I justify canceling the path perceived as guaranteed asking
"why jeopardize the birth of Plan A by focusing on Plan B?"
More cynical than syndicate
there are some things we can't be!
More omnibus than syllabus
there are some things they can't teach!
Spice things up writing much
no brain-food portion "bland feast"
feisty tongue Midas touch
good taste, of course I'm Gordon Ramsey
Or am I more like Gatsby?
Romance-seeking L.I.er at parties gazing sadly
Outsider like Pony Boy or Boo Radley
I'll write a (Mitch) Albu/om with Mauries' veracity,
Outliers, Malcom Gladwell, We'll gladly
"Keep it 10,000" in the lab reaping a varied outcome,
more hats than a haberdashery!
Am I Nelson DeMille, thrilling L.I. author of text titles
around these Cruella DeVilles, whose "dogs" are "all for" textiles?
Fetch Fido! tense smile, Tesla spiral cursive
Electric kite flown, blessed shine glow, inventing light-bulb purpose
obsessed, my scrolls, shed-light goal, twilight-time-zone wordsmith
study dead idol's I/eyedeas, get tired, check vitals then I'm emerging,
entitled and liable to imbibe my dreamt ideals inside my REM cycle's circling
D
rough draft (an explanation) of critical thought
wars and rumors of wars, overtime what we fought
to achieve a leave of absence under a bridge
compress an artist’s impression with compact discs
A
Collaborative Contact is Fostered, encounters of the 4th kind,
Comrade established, One toward third eye forthright
Inciting assertive insight inserted in apologues
fireplace inspired flames ignite an emblazoned catalog
D
nightmares and dreamscapes, welcome to forever
aside from; besides, we’ll make it together
Seaside, casual…corporate and combative
Decides the best mistake is to bury the hatchet
A
BP-midnight oil spiller work ethic
EnGulfed lubri-catering to motormouth search engines
Grease-firing-on-all-cylinders present
Thought train: I think (I can) therefore I am: able to still ensure successes
D
driven to succeed, we multiply
over-saturated, displaced - damp reeds in a river, dry
dehydrated, yet crisp & refreshing…
it’s not possessing what you want, it’s wanting what you’re possessing…
A
Your world, All- “Camera Eyes” on you (Truman Show lessons),
“Comfortably Numb”, ignorant bliss asks The Euphio Question,
Oliver Sacks Awakening all of you back to new and bold ventures
Key-note-locks-pick-catch phrases, R(oo)uminations you a(L)lone enter
D
without knocking and notifying…
over-marketing, identifying causes that’s underlying
and clarifying why communication is key
there’s no mewithoutYou, there’s no meaning without me
A
The world a stage, one act play, we won’t bow after
curtains closing we child actors earn Tonys “wow factor- in-“
Spread smiles past your sadness, Pagliacci performed that best
your role in Wonderland? the Looking Glass a Rorschach test!

CHORUS:
the Rudimentary awakening, of sleeping seasons
if silence is consent, we're voices of reason
left within, right without regret,
given to dreams, one by one, cause & effect
