Somebody said something one time
and it was really beautiful.
Somebody said something one time
and it was really ugly.
Somebody said something one time
and it made you cry.
Somebody said something one time
and you were glowing for hours…
God spoke and the word became flesh.
What happened next the pope couldn’t condone.
Someone said something one time
and your mother died.
Someone said something one time
and the parking meter ran outta money.
“Life is a boundless mystery…”
said a lizard, thoughtfully smoking a pipe
everybody knows that you may already be a winner
but I know
that you are already dead
I went to the funeral
and everyone was being picked off
as if by a sniper
one by one
of course the authorities showed up
but they never found,
anyone.
oh sure there were clues!
tantalizingly & delicious clues!
but the prime suspect turned out to be
a 8yr old little girl
her alibi was an entire petting zoo
and several billion years of anticipation
