Know!

Here comes a thought.
I can feel it in my head
Now it’s in my toes.
Am I dead?

That can’t be.
I can still think.
About what?
Name it.

I will
The whippoorwill.
There it goes!
I never saw it!

What’s next?
Me at my best.
What does that look like?
The universal might.

Then what?
Acknowledge another.
Howdy brother?
You seem here sister.

Open your eyes.
Surprise!
I thought you were there.
Where?

I’m fading out!
Hold on.
To what?
Me?

Now say after me.
How do you do?
You’re assuming a lot
I guess I am.

You think so?
I guess so
Where am I?
Let’s think about it,

Thinking?
Talking.
Moving?
Grooving

It seems you know something
I do
Before me?
Positively.

Then let’s start over?
Doing what
Assuming,
I want out!

It’s a big place
I can handle it
It’s a duck billed giraffe!
Do they bite?

Things keep mounting
I thought so
And you are God!
Not necessarily,

Then what are?
Stop that!
Can’t!
Take it from there!

And so it went
Time and space
Who’s talking?
The radiator.

The radiator?
The radiator beyond
A new name?
In the beginning.

Stop!
Go!
Yes!
No!

This will never end because it began.
             Now always will be
