Fat on File Talking Blues
2/22/09
That was that and this is this
Time marches on prospectively from the perspective of a riddle
Comfortably unable to solve
My thoughts are OK but yours are considerably more significant to you
Understandably so, inexorable rights like a valve with no aperture or solution for me
Time is change and change is timing flawed by a river of insolence
Buoys mark anger and sorrow's intensities offer no lifeline for war
Disruptions in times of peace on illegitimate by-ways bygones not gone
There's more on their way with protocol and types running parallel
Purposes running a muck
My story line is flawed but it does exist just like yours
It was born for the reason to cross that purpose
That was that and this is this
Ya gotta stay present to know how to exist
Just last century I thought it was this, but I was wrong
That wasn't that but that's not all
"That's all folks" was a fallacy stuttered by a porky little pig in a cartoon aperture
With no moral after all
The fat's on file and I've been told there's always more to unfold
Prospectively from the middle of a riddle rhyming isn't necessary
Nor is war but it seems that's not the point
I'd negotiate but that's not the point either
From the perspective of a riddle unable to solve
This is this but it's not that simple
There's more to this from the perspective of a riddle
Comfortably unable to solve
