Writing: Step Right Up
ByWe all stand in line
waiting for our chance
to manifest our humanity
in so many different waysStep right up…
Everyone gets a turn
to laugh
cry
live
dieWe all take a spin
on the mistake machine
ride the wave of love
and drive each other crazyLine forms to the left please…
In time we do it all at least once
those of us who are lucky
lucky enough to dare
brave enough to trySadly there are some who only watch
unwilling to hear the “click, click click”
of the roller coaster ride
that is this lifeNo one rides without a ticket…
Everyone takes a chance
some are dealt pain
others joy
but each are alive in their own wayStay behind yellow line…
Eventually, life and age
have their way with us all
we pay the piper
and do the timeand if we’re lucky
we get three score and ten
and if we’re lucky
everybody gets a turnoh, and one more thing…
Keep hands and feet inside until ride comes to a complete stop…
