how much can you actually carry?
a childhood will be indispensable
and some are feather-light
others weigh like a nightmare, Marx said
Jesus was all jaw too
Lao-Tzu, on the other hand
you wouldn't get a squeak from
had to make him write it all down
Buddha, as you know, just sat
(the one sesame seed, the one grain of rice
you won't get far on that)
just how much can you take though?
there's the road itself
and secret to
all of the weight of the map
there's also the far far better thing
the heavens above
the favourite and the 100 to 1
Buckley's is a mug's game
martyrs must give a stoic impression
it's all in the job description
each of the skies up until now?
better to bear with the past or the future?
not everyone has a choice
just to let non-Australians know about the Buckley reference
ReplyDeletea mug's game is something pointless
as is Buckley's chance but not quite
for Buckley please see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckley_%26_Nunn
and
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Buckley_%28convict%29
both pretty interesting stories!
This one resonates the living of/in the present.
ReplyDeleteHow much weight / how much wait? a play of these comes to mind.
(a mugs game and Buckley's chance are a neat division to this conundrum)
I tip toward philosophy of table tennis, yet with all these heavy hitters god must be nearby.
spin and bounce, yeah! let's play life itself!!
