Should I do it like this?
Move like that? Feel this way?
Breathe in and stop?
The answer is no answer,
Originality waits, not for your decision,
But for your emptiness.
Hyper-intellectualism, is a boring waste of time,
And the world isn’t interested in winning anyway,
That’s what people do,
Gaia just wants to dance.
Don’t bother being patient, otherwise you’ll wait forever,
Like a jolt, like a flash, it comes,
You don’t know what it is, you don’t know where it is,
But you’ll love it when it gets here.
Mysteries always have been delicious things,
And oh, the universe says, you’re gonna love the funny little story,
That we came up with today.
