Whatever

My passing thought,
my second word
My so elusive precious bird
My prime example of absurd
My Whatever
Not quite together nor apart
More for my head than for
my heart
If not forever it’s a start
My Whatever
Whatever time or space may bring
Whatever song you want to sing
I’ll play along the play’s the thing
My Whatever
My knowing glance, my
empty smile
My sense of something more
worthwhile
With much exceedingly less style
My Whatever
My stifl ed laugh, my well worn joke
Trying so hard going for broke
Denying words I ever spoke
My Whatever
Whatever tone or touch I feel
Whatever thoughts you won’t
reveal
I know my role, I made that deal
My Whatever
My brightest day, my darkest night
My oh so wrong that feels so right
From off this train I can’t alight
My Whatever
